lyrics

Deep within the land of cotton
My heart beats silently
In the land that time’s forgotten
My true love waits for me

Oh my love
How my heart has grown weary
Just to hear the softness of your sigh
Let the moon shine bright
On this long dark night
Mississippi won’t you bear me on

All along this mighty river
The paddle wheels do turn
And until I am delivered
My tender heart will yearn

Oh my love
Oh my beautiful dreamer
I’ll return to the place where I belong
Let the southern winds blow
And the mighty waters flow
Mississippi won’t you bear me on

Though my days are now fleeting
Passing by and by
And they hasten my retreating
As my time draws night
Oh my love
Oh my beautiful dreamer
I’ll return to the land where I belong
Let the southern winds blow
And the mighty waters flow
Mississippi won’t you bear me on
