Mississippi-Line Letra

Working on a barge down in New Orleans Spending all money on cajun queens Working from the morning till the end of day That's when I go out to play Working 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 bet you five dollars I'm as happy as you Working on the Muddy Mississippi Line Working on the Muddy Mississippi Line I've got a lot of friends down in New Orleans Working on the docks loadin' coffee beans Harder working 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 cajun from the heart of the land They taught me how to love the Mississippi mud Now this Mississippi water flows in my blood Working on the Muddy Mississippi Line Working on the Muddy Mississippi Line I love the Mississippi like it was my home As long as I remember it's been my home When you're riding on the Muddy Mississippi Line I know it's kind of muddy but it sure looks fine Working on the Muddy Mississippi Line Working on the Muddy Mississippi Line
