OH MISSISSIPPI song lyrics by Joel Sattler

Under a wide and open sky

Using Orion for a guide

Oh Mississippi

Mississippi

Sailing the night from town to town

500 miles up and down 

I hear her calling me

Calling to me

And I know if I only listen hard and long

I’ll understand the words in the everlasting song

She is the mother of all waters

So strong

So strong

So strong

The paddlewheel is slapping time

Far up the river we will climb

Cutting through history

The heart of the country

I feel the current as she rise

Riding the ocean of her eyes

Mighty Mississippi

Oh Mississippi

And I don’t know if I’ll ever reach the end

But if I do I’ll turn around and start again

Who know what we’ll find when come round the next bend

My friend

My friend

My friend

The Mississippi

is more than you’ll ever know

The stars above

the mighty heartbeat down below

Oh Mississippi….
