Way down upon that old Mississippi River
not so far away
That's where my folks have lived forever
And that's where I'm going to stay.
I've been searching across the whole creation
half my life or more
But I found my own sweet satisfaction
right here on that muddy river shore.
All the world it is so sad and dreary
everywhere I roam.
Oh mama, how I miss the prairie
and my Minnesota home!

I can see my mama's sweet sweet face,
every Sunday morning,
all the good old hymns,
praise God, that we've sung, we knelt in prayer
right beside our precious aunts and uncles,
who loved us when we were young

In the valley of darkness they are the shepherds
Who lead me to pastures green
And I'll sit with my mama by the still still waters
And goodness and mercy follow me

I floated down the Columbia and the Hudson
Walked on the banks of the Ohio
On the banks of the Wabash and the mighty Colorado
And the old Red River way up north
All the world, it is a world of rivers
flowing to the sea
But here on that old Mississippi
Here is the home for you and me
All the world is so sad and dreary
everywhere I roam.
Oh mama, how I miss the prairie
and my Minnesota home.
