Mississippi Risin'

The clouds are rolling in

The storm has just begun

You'll never guess what I just done

On the banks of the Big Muddy

Still I'm daddy's girl

But I gave a woman's heart

To a man not from around these parts

On the banks of the Big Muddy

Mississippi Risin'

Don't go telling my daddy

Mississippi Risin'

He'll worry his soul to death

I'm gonna get an earful

It's not the first or last

Some move slow but honey we move fast

On the banks of the Big Muddy

Tonight I lie in New Orleans

In the arms of my Huckleberry

In the morning we'll get married

This girl is getting married

On the banks of the Big Muddy

Mississippi Risin'

Don't go telling my daddy

Mississippi Risin'

He'll worry his soul to death

My old man's a lot like you

Old Man river you got secrets too

I fess up when the water's low

But it's best for daddy if he don't know

Mississippi Risin'

Don't go telling my daddy

Mississippi Risin'

He'll worry his soul to death

Mississippi Risin'

Don't go telling my daddy

Mississippi Risin'

He'll worry his soul to death

1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi

Mississippi Risin'

Don't go telling my daddy

Mississippi Risin'

He'll worry his soul to death

Mississippi Risin'

Don't go telling my daddy

Mississippi Risin'

He'll worry his soul to death
