Mighty Mississippi

[Verse 1]
Way down in the Mississippi valley
Far beyond the plains so grand
Rose the flooded Mississippi River
Destroying the works of man

[Verse 2]
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)

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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)

[Verse 5]
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)
