Have you ever took a boat ride down the Mississippi
Cause it starts off in St. Louis Missouri
And she take you down to Orleans and out to the sea
Well you heard about the ship called Queen Mary
That sailed on the northern sea
Her accomodations are among the best
Give you three square meals a day and a place to rest
Smell them big old plates of hot biscuits and the country ham
Get your fresh fried chickens, mashed potatoes and candied yams
Heard about that ship called the Constitution fighting that Revolutionary War
And our inland Navy she's the finest from shore to shore
BRIDGE: E, B7, E, B7, E
Well it takes about a week to get back down that old Mississippi river
When you get on board you wish it would last forever
Sit on the deck fish off the side all day
Watch the sunny southland roll by and dream your blues away
Heard about the ship Titanic
Sank it on the northern sea
Ain't never took no boat ride 'till you been riding on the Mississippi
(Full House Aces High Live version ending)
Well there ain't no tourist class and it ain't too fast
Just one for all and we're having a ball
