Select language to translate this lyric
The fog is rolling down the river
Dark clouds are hangin' mighty low
It's a long long way from old St. Louis
Down to the Gulf of Mexico
Well, I make my home on the Mississippi
I'm a roustabout on a Steamboat line
We hit the deck on Monday morning
And make the dock on Saturday night
Well I had me a gal way down in Vicksburg
And we used to stop every time we passed
Till she made off with a riverboat gambler
In a new silk suit and a little mustache
Well, I make my home on the Mississippi
I'm a roustabout on a Steamboat line
We hit the deck on Monday morning
And make the dock on Saturday night
Now when I die there's just one favor
Don't lay me down in the cold cold ground
Just take me up to the middle of the river
Roll me over and point me south
Well, I make my home on the Mississippi
I'm a roustabout on a Steamboat line
We hit the deck on Monday morning
And make the dock on Saturday night
Well, I make my home on the Mississippi
I'm a roustabout on a Steamboat line
We hit the deck on Monday morning
And make the dock on Saturday night
