Lyrics Skippin' In The Mississippi Dew - John Hartford
Well
I
dream
of
a
girl
and
a
steering
wheel
steamboat
A
pilothouse
stove
and
engine
room
brass
Hanging
on
a
post
by
the
main
deck
stairway
Long
hair
skippin'
in
the
Mississippi
dew
Oh
the
river
run
wide,
run
deep,
run
muddy
The
river
run
long
after
I
am
gone
With
the
steamboat
wheeling
on
a
big
wide
bend
Just
skippin'
in
the
Mississippi
dew
Well
I
went
up
the
river
come
way
last
Sunday
Twelve
feet
of
water
on
the
Memphis
gauge
Wouldn't
be
home
without
the
muddy
water
rolling
Paddle
wheel
skippin'
in
the
Mississippi
dew
Oh
thе
river
run
wide,
run
deep,
run
muddy
Oh
the
rivеr
run
long
after
I
am
gone
With
the
steamboat
wheelin'
on
a
big
wide
bend
Just
skippin'
in
the
Mississippi
dew
Now
it
used
to
be
Spring
I'd
ship
on
the
river
Thirty
five
days
on
a
balla
[sic]
line
boat
I'd
make
a
little
money,
get
a
springtime
chicken
And
take
off
a
skippin'
in
the
Mississippi
dew
Oh
the
river
run
wide,
run
deep,
run
muddy
Oh
the
river
run
long
after
I
am
gone
With
the
steam
boat
wheelin'
round
a
big
wide
bend
Just
skippin'
in
the
Mississippi
dew
Oh
the
river
run
wide,
run
deep,
run
muddy
Oh
the
river
run
long
after
I
am
gone
With
the
steamboat
wheelin'
round
a
big
wide
bend
Just
skippin'
in
the
Mississippi
dew
