Straight down the Mis sis sip pi Riv er to the (E)Gulf of Mex i co

And she told me just to (D)come on by if there’s (E)an y thing that she could do.

(A)Up on Crip ple Creek,

she sends me.

(D)If I spring a leak,

she mends me.

(E)I don’t have to speak ’cause she de fends me.

A (F#m)drunk ard’s dream if I (G)ev er did see one.
