Well, the current is fine, and so are you
Jump right in, and we can see if it’s true
Don’t afraid to take a chance on me

We can anchor out, swim out all-day
Get sunburned, baby that’s OK
As long as you’re with me and I’m with you

We’re on the Mississippi, the Mississippi
Watch’n the barges as they go by
Swattin Skeeters and staying up all night
We’re on the Mississippi tonight

We can cruise from town to town
And go fishing all around.
Hey, maybe we can hit that carnival.

Well, there are farmers’ markets everywhere
Selling produce and lemon squares
Kimswick won’t ever let you down

We’re on the Mississippi, the Mississippi
Watch’n the barges as they go by
Swattin Skeeters and staying up all night
We’re on the Mississippi tonight

When we hit the last lock headed for the Illinois
It was sad leaving that brown water behind
But give me a couple of weeks
I’ll be headed back southbound……..But Tonight…..

We’re on the Mississippi, the Mississippi
Watch’n the barges as they go by
Swattin Skeeters and staying up all night
We’re on the Mississippi

We’re on the Mississippi, the Mississippi
Watch’n the barges as they go by
Swattin Skeeters and staying up all night
We’re on the Mississippi tonight
