Lyrics

RIVER MISSISSIPPI by Scott Detweiler

Once was a pirate Sebastian
Lived by the knife and the gun
Kidnappin young girls and settin fires
Was the way he harvested fun
Killed a riverman in Natchez
Took his flatboat on the run
Stole his money and his watch and chain
Then he drank a bottle of run

Mississippi River rollin on
Hey hey hey hey
River Mississippi (talkin bout the river)
River Mississippi

He like Theresa down in Baton Rouge
You know he like to spend the night down there
She knows Sebastian’s a pirate
But the whore don’t seem to care
Dawn broke and then she saw the watch and chain
It was the birthday watch she gave to her dad
So she took Sebastian to the levee
Now he floats with his knife in his back

Mississippi River rollin on
Hey hey hey hey
River Mississippi (talkin bout the river)
River Mississippi
