Peter Stampfel - Mighty Mississippi lyrics

Way down in the Mississippi valley
Far beyond the plains so grand
Rose the flooded Mississippi River
Destroying the works of man

With her waters at the highest
That all man had ever known
She came rushing out of the valley
Destroying our land and homes, hey!
(Piano solo)

There were people stranded in the rooftops
Who had spent a sleepless night
Without any hope of a rescue
Or even a spark of light

There were othеrs stranded in the rooftops
With no way to give an alarm
Thеre were mothers stranded in the treetops
With their babies in their arms

(Piano solo)

Let us all get right with our Maker
As He do make all things well
And be ready to meet in judgment
When we bid this earth farewell

(Piano solo)
