Working on a barge down in New OrleansSpending all my money on Cajun queensWorking from the morning till the end of dayAnd that's when I go out to playWorking on the Muddy Mississippi LineThey pay me ten dollars and I don't save a dimeBut I always seem to make enough to see me throughAnd I'll bet you five dollars, I'm as happy as you[Chorus]Working on the muddy Mississippi lineWorking on the muddy Mississippi lineI've got a lot of friends down in New OrleansWorking on the docks, loading coffee beansHard working people who will lend you a handThey'll help you anyway they canMy daddy was a Mississippi river manMy mama was a Cajun from the heart of the landThey taught me how to love the Mississippi mudNow there's Mississippi water flowing in my blood[Chorus]SongtexteI love the Mississippi like it was my ownAs long as I remember, it's been my homeI know it's kinda muddy but it sure looks fineWhen you're riding on the muddy Mississippi line[Chorus: x3] Aus Songtexte Mania
