Lyrics

Workin' on a barge down in New Orleans
Spendin' all my money on Cajun queens
Workin' from the mornin' 'til the end of day
And that's when I go out to play
Workin' on the muddy Mississippi line
They pay me ten dollars and I don't save a dime
But I always seem to make enough to see me through
And I'll bet you five dollars I'm as happy as you
Workin' on the muddy Mississippi line
Workin' on the muddy Mississippi line
I got a lot of friends down in New Orleans
Workin' on the docks loadin' coffee beans
Hard workin' people who will lend you a hand
They'll help you any way they can
My daddy was a Mississippi river man
My mama was a Cajun from the heart of the land
They taught me how to love the Mississippi mud
Now there's Mississippi water flowin' in my blood
Workin' on the muddy Mississippi line
Workin' on the muddy Mississippi line
I love the Mississippi like it was my own
As long as I remember it's been my home
I know it's kinda muddy but it sure looks fine
When you're ridin' on the muddy Mississippi line
Workin' on the muddy Mississippi line
Workin' on the muddy Mississippi line
Workin' on the muddy Mississippi line
Workin' on the muddy Mississippi line
Workin' on the muddy Mississippi line
Workin' on the muddy Mississippi line
