Paroles
Now I had a teacher when I went to school She loved the river, and she taught about it too I'se a pretty bad boy, but she called my bluff With her great big collection of steamboat stuff Oh, yeah She had log-books and bells and the things like that And she knew the old captains and where they were at She rode the Alabama and the Gordon C. Green As the Cape Giraudoux, she was later renamed Uh-huh But her very favoritе, as you all know Was the Golden Eagle, Captain Buck's old boat This old stеrn wheeler sank and went to heaven When I was in the fourth grade, in nineteen forty-seven Uh-huh Well, now, fast people in St. Louis society A-takin' a trip on the Mississippi Sleepin' in their bunks after an after-dinner drink They didn't think the boat would sink Oh, no Well, I know Captain Buck was a very sad man When that old wooden hull went into the sand And Miss Ferris was sad for sure But immediately, her mind went to work Oh, yeah Well, she did some politicking that was tricky and hard And she got the pilot house for the schoolhouse yard And so, instead of studying, I became a dreamer Dreaming 'bout boats and the Mississippi River Uh-huh I had to work real hard to get my school work done 'Cause you could not fool Mis Ferris none And, if I went to sleep or I were not supposed to talk Oh, she was a dead shot with a little piece of chalk. Uh-huh Oh me, oh my, how the time does fly Time and the river keep a-rollin' on by Now, I am not a student and she is not a teacher But, we both still love the Mississippi River Uh, huh Well, I went to see her this Christmas last We took a little trip back through the past On the easy rocker we looked at pictures And we dreamed our dreams of the Mississippi River Uh-huh Oh me, oh my, how the time does fly Time and the river keep a-rollin' on by Now, I am not a student and she is not a teacher But, we both still love the Mississippi River Uh, huh
