River of My Memories Lyrics

The Mississippi flows, a timeless tale it weaves

Steam boats churning, through the water they heave

Blues in the air, a story of the South

Nostalgia in my heart, for days gone without

The river whispers secrets, ancient and deep

Carrying dreams and sorrows, promises to keep

In the misty morning light, I see her shimmer and shine

A memory of a bygone era, a different time

Steam boats on the horizon, like ghosts from the past

Sailing down the river, memories that last

Oh Mississippi, your waters so wide

Carry me back, on a sentimental ride

River of my memories, flowing ever strong

Singing a song of the South, where I belong

Steam boats and moonlight, a romantic scene

Mississippi, you're forever in my dreams

Oh Mississippi, river of my soul

Take me back to the days of old

Steam boat on the water, a sight to behold

Mississippi, forever you hold

River of my memories, take me back home

Oh Mississippi, where the steam boats roam

River of my memories, take me back home

Oh Mississippi, where the steam boats roam

Oh Mississippi, river of my soul

Take me back to the days of old

Steam boat on the water, a sight to behold

Mississippi, forever you hold
