ASon of river man, muddyD water's all I've known
I wasA born out on the banks, Mama diBmed when I was youngEm
EJust beAfore my daddy left, he hoDllered out at me Bm
"Son you're a chiAld of the Mississippi"
My schoolin' was a steamboat, and I was eDducated well
On a stAernin' double wheeler, where I learnedB my rebel yell E
Then I stAarted roustaboutin' at the agDe of thirteen B
Lord, I'm a AchildE of the MississiAppi
I was raEmised on the river, muddy water gonna carry me hoAme
She's gonna rEmock me like a baby rollin' in her sweet lovin' armAs
Just a bDarefoot boy born in in BDixieland
BrougAht up on the banks to be a Friver man
Sweet BchildE of the MississipApi
AI know every stretch of river, I know evDery railroad bridge
From up in ASt. Paul Minnesota, down south to the BMemphis pyramiEd
Lord she's Aproud and she's lonesome, and I've knowDn since I was a kidB
I was a AchildE of the MississAippi
I was Emraised on the river, muddy water gonna carry me homAe
She's gonna Emrock me like a baby rollin' in her sweet lovin' armsA
Just a Dbarefoot boy born in in BDixieland
BroAught up on the banks to be a Friver man
Sweet BchildE of the Mississippi

Well GI sure miss my mama, and AI even miss ol' Pa
But I Dlove that muddy Bwater most of aEll
I was rEmaised on the river, muddy water gonna carry me hoAme
She's gonna Emrock me like a baby rollin' in her sweet lovin' aArms
I was a Dbarefoot boy born in in BDixieland
BroAught up on the banks to be a Friver man
Sweet BchildE of the MississAippi
Sweet BchildE of the MississAippi
Sweet BchildE of the MississAippi
Sweet BchildE of the MississippGi
