Текст песни: Mississippi River + перевод

The summer was waving

A cold winter good-bye

And the river was flowing

All fast and high

She had enough of small towns

And wanted something new

And she left me standing

By the Mississippi River

Not a year goes by

When that river don’t bite

You always read in the paper

About it taking some lives

When the water’s high

You best stand clear

Even the Mississippi River

Couldn’t hold her here

When the snow starts falling

And the cold winter comes back

I’ll walk out on that river

Until the ice all cracks

And I’ll let it take me

To where the skies are blue

Maybe the Mississippi River

Will lead me back to you

I miss you darling

Guess I always will

But asking you to come home is like

Asking that river to stand still.
