| [00:25.250] |
Way down upon that old Mississippi river |
| [00:31.010] |
Not so far away |
| [00:36.450] |
That's where my folks have lived for ever |
| [00:41.810] |
And that's where I'm going to stay |
| [00:47.120] |
I've been searching cross the whole creation |
| [00:53.800] |
Half my life or more (and more) |
| [00:58.740] |
But I found my own sweet satisfaction |
| [01:03.760] |
Right here on that muddy river shore |
| [01:09.090] |
all the World |
| [01:11.780] |
It is so sad and dreary |
| [01:14.680] |
every where I roam |
| [01:20.330] |
oh (oh mama) mama how I miss the prairie |
| [01:25.980] |
and my Minnesota home |
| [01:31.950] |
I can see my mama's sweet sweet face |
| [01:35.230] |
Every Sunday morning |
| [01:38.100] |
All the good old hymns |
| [01:39.840] |
praise god that we've sung |
| [01:42.400] |
we knelt in prayer |
| [01:44.030] |
right beside of our precious aunts and uncles |
| [01:47.680] |
Who loved us when we were young |
| [01:53.240] |
In the valley of darkness |
| [01:55.860] |
they are the shepherds |
| [01:58.820] |
Who lead me to pastures green |
| [02:04.360] |
And I'll sit with my mama by the still still waters |
| [02:09.780] |
And goodness and mercy follow me |
| [02:15.500] |
I floated down the Columbia and the Hudson |
| [02:21.070] |
Walked on the banks of the Ohio (Ohio Ohio) |
| [02:26.350] |
on the banks of a Wabash |
| [02:28.760] |
And the mighty Colorado |
| [02:32.080] |
And the old red river way up north |
| [02:37.060] |
all the world is a world of rivers |
| [02:43.230] |
flowing to the sea,ah... |
| [02:48.470] |
but here on that old Mississippi |
| [02:53.420] |
here is the home for you and me |
| [02:58.650] |
all the world |
| [03:01.420] |
it is so sad and dreary |
| [03:04.280] |
every where I roam |
| [03:08.810] |
oh mama how I missed the prairie |
| [03:19.980] |
and my Minnesota home |
