Down by the Mississippi where the waters run deep and slow
I stumbled 'cross a secret in the early morning glow
There in the mud and the reeds a sight chilled me to the bone
A lifeless form lay silent in the waters all alone
Oh Mississippi tell me what you've seen
Underneath your waters secrets dark and keen
Your currents whisper stories of souls lost and found
On your muddy banks a mystery profound
The mist hung low like sorrow the air was thick and s?ll
That body told a story of a fate so cold and ill
Eyes closed to the world hands folded in eternal sleep
A tale of the delta buried in the deep
Oh Mississippi keeper of the past
Your waters hold the stories the truths that ever last
In your embrace lies hidden a tale of joy and strife
On your rugged banks the end of a life
I stood there in the silence pondering the fate
Of the one who met their end in a twist of cruel hate
The river flowed indifferent to the life that once was
In the heart of the delta nature's unforgiving laws
Oh Mississippi ancient and wise
Your waters see the truths behind the human lies
In your depths a his history of love and loss and pain
On your sacred banks memories remain
Down by the Mississippi where the waters run deep and slow
I stumbled 'cross a secret in the early morning glow
There in the mud and the reeds a sight chilled me to the bone
A lifeless form lay silent in the waters all alone
Oh Mississippi tell me what you've seen
Underneath your waters secrets dark and keen
Your currents whisper stories of souls lost and found
On your muddy banks a mystery profound
The mist hung low like sorrow the air was thick and s?ll
That body told a story of a fate so cold and ill
Eyes closed to the world hands folded in eternal sleep
A tale of the delta buried in the deep
Oh Mississippi keeper of the past
Your waters hold the stories the truths that ever last
In your embrace lies hidden a tale of joy and strife
On your rugged banks the end of a life
I stood there in the silence pondering the fate
Of the one who met their end in a twist of cruel hate
The river flowed indifferent to the life that once was
In the heart of the delta nature's unforgiving laws
Oh Mississippi ancient and wise
Your waters see the truths behind the human lies
In your depths a his history of love and loss and pain
