Taylor Big - Mississippi River Blues lyrics

Broonzy, Big Bill Mississippi River, Is so long, deep and wide, I can see my good gal on that other side. You know I cried, and I called, But I could not make her hear, I'm gonna catch that boat baby, steam on over there. Big boat is up the river, Lord, stuck on a bank of sand, I'll never see my baby, I'll never make that land. Ain't it hard, to love someone, When they are so far from you; I am so lonesome, I don't know what to do.
