Everybody knows
Catfish got no scales
Everybody knows
Cotton comes in bales
The Mississippi River
Deep and muddy stream
I just sit on the bank
And I fish while I dream
All I can say is
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
I can't pick no cotton
I can't pull no corn
It just keeps on raining
But I just cant stay at home
All I can say is
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
I am so miserable
I am so tired
I just sit on the Mississippi River
And watch the fish swim by
My life is so confused
But I don't want to die
I wanna go to heaven
But I’m scared to fly
All I can say is
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
Just keep on singing
Just keep on singing
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa
