Jimmie Rodgers - Best [compilation] (2011) by Jimmie Rodgers (보컬) on maniadb.com

I'll pack my grip for a farewell trip
Kiss Susie Jane goodbye at the fountain
I'm going, said I, to the land of the sky
Away out on the mountain

Where the wild sheep grows and the buffalo lows
And the squirrels are so many you can't count them
Then I'll make love to some turtle dove
Way out on the mountain

When the north winds blow and we're gonna have snow
And the rain and the hail comes bouncing
I'll wrap myself in a grizzly bear coat
Away out on the mountain

Where the snakes are vile and the zebras' wild
And the beavers paddle on walking canes
Then I'll send my boots with a buffalo hide
Away out on the mountain

Where the whippoorwills sing me to sleep at night
And the eagle roosts on the rocks of spontan
I'll feast on the meat and the honey so sweet
Way out on the mountain

The Mississippi River Blues...

Oh you Mississippi river with water so deep and wide
My thoughts of you keep rising just like an evening tide
I'm just like a seagull that's left the sea
Oh, your muddy waters, they keep on calling me

I'm going to pack my grip and head that way
You'll see me hanging ‘round again some day
‘Cause I know that's the only way to lose
The Mississippi River Blues

The Mississippi River Blues...

I've often ridden on your bosom from Memphis down to New Orleans
Dreaming over muddy waters flowing through familiar scenes
And when I hear the whistle of an old steamboat
Down that Mississippi River again I'm going to float

I'm going to pack my grip and head that way
You'll see me hanging ‘round again some day
‘Cause I know that's the only way to lose
The mean old Mississippi River Blues

The Mississippi River Blues...

I had a gal, oh, what a gal, her name was Haydee Brown.
I'd take her out, to ride about, when the moon was shining down.
We'd sit alone, when we got home, out in the old porch swing.
Then the dear little miss, would give me a kiss, while sweetly to her I would sing:

Oh, Haydee, my little lady, I love no one but you.
Oh, Haydee, my little lady, won't you love me, too?
We'll get married in June, and have a long honeymoon, then settle down for life.
Oh, Haydee, my little lady, won't you be my wife?

I had a gal, oh, what a pal, she left me alone one day.
I didn't mind, because I find, they most always do you that way.
So, I went about to try n' find out, if another gal I couldn't find.
In less than a day, I'd met Sadie Mae, now I hand her the same old line:

Oh, Sadie, my little lady, I love no one but you.
Oh, Sadie, my little lady, won't you love me, too?
We'll get married in June, and have a long honeymoon, then settle down for life.
Oh, Sadie, my little lady, won't you be my wife?
