Lyrics

MISSISSIPPI RIVER, MISSISSIPPI TOWN

Sky spitting rain, crow flying by
Water rising high as cane in July
A bible storm’s coming, words whipping round
Mississippi river wants this Mississippi town
My oh my if that levee breaks
Gonna cause some big heartache


Pushing and pulling, the river's getting mad
Last storm took, everything we had
Roaring like an engine, plowing its’ way down
Mississippi river, wants this Mississippi town

My oh my if that levee breaks
Gonna cause some big heartache

My oh my if that levee breaks
Gonna cause some big heartache

Water stopping tonight, at the county line
Only a fool thinks, that river's changed its' mind
Learn to swim, or head to higher ground
Mississippi river, wants this Mississippi town

My oh my if that levee breaks
It's gonna cause some big heartache
My oh my if that levee breaks
It's gonna cause some big heartache
