Skippin’ in the Mississippi Dew Lyrics – John Hartford
Singer: John Hartford
Title: Skippin’ in the Mississippi Dew
Well I dream of a girl and a steering wheel steamboat
A pilothouse stove and engine room brass
Hanging on a post by the main deck stairway
Long hair skippin’ in the Mississippi dew
Oh the river run wide, run deep, run muddy
The river run long after I am gone
With the steamboat wheeling on a big wide bend
Just skippin’ in the Mississippi dew
Well I went up the river come way last Sunday
Twelve feet of water on the Memphis gauge
Wouldn’t be home without the muddy water rolling
Paddle wheel skippin’ in the Mississippi dew
Oh thе river run wide, run deep, run muddy
Oh the rivеr run long after I am gone
With the steamboat wheelin’ on a big wide bend
Just skippin’ in the Mississippi dew
Now it used to be Spring I’d ship on the river
Thirty five days on a balla {sic} line boat
I’d make a little money, get a springtime chicken
And take off a skippin’ in the Mississippi dew
Oh the river run wide, run deep, run muddy
Oh the river run long after I am gone
With the steam boat wheelin’ round a big wide bend
Just skippin’ in the Mississippi dew
Oh the river run wide, run deep, run muddy
Oh the river run long after I am gone
With the steamboat wheelin’ round a big wide bend
Just skippin’ in the Mississippi dew
