Son of river man, muddy water's all I've known I was born out on the banks, Mama died when I was young Just before my daddy left, he hollered out at me "Son you're a child of the Mississippi" My schoolin' was a steamboat, and I was educated well On a sternin' double wheeler, where I learned my rebel yell Then I started roustaboutin' at the age of thirteen Lord, I'm a child of the Mississippi I was raised on the river, muddy water gonna carry me home She's gonna rock me like a baby rollin' in her sweet lovin' arms Just a barefoot boy born in in Dixieland Brought up on the banks to be a river man Sweet child of the Mississippi I know every stretch of river, I know every railroad bridge From up in St. Paul Minnesota, down south to the Memphis pyramid Lord she's [?] and lonesome, and I've known since I was a kid I was a child of the Mississippi I was raised on the river, muddy water gonna carry me home She's gonna rock me like a baby rollin' in her sweet lovin' arms Just a barefoot boy born in in Dixieland Brought up on the banks to be a river man Sweet child of the Mississippi Well I sure miss my mama, and I even miss ol' Pa But I love that muddy water most of all I was raised on the river, muddy water gonna carry me home She's gonna rock me like a baby rollin' in her sweet lovin' arms I was a barefoot boy born in in Dixieland Brought up on the banks to be a river man Sweet child of the Mississippi Sweet child of the Mississippi Sweet child of the Mississippi Sweet child of the Mississippi
