Way down on Mississippi big river came a mighty big man
|
He built a town on that river and owned everything in that glen
|
He fell in love and married a girl she was young and mean and wild
|
He tried to tame her but it couldn't been done it was too late to devil's own child
|
Big river (keep on growin' growin') big man (keep on growin' growin')
|
Big river (keep on growin' growin') big man (keep on growin' growin')
|
The love you have for greed and power surely pull you down
|
You lose your friends you lose your soul in that darn city to big man's town
|
Big river (keep on growin' growin') big man (keep on growin' growin')
|
Big river (keep on growin' growin') big man (keep on growin' growin')
|
|
Look down in the water all around you hear the steamboat whistle blow
|
Come on big man get a movin' you got a long way to go
|
Just like a big river big man you gotta move on and on
|
Take your money keep your dough you're gonna be left all alone
|
Big river (keep on growin' growin')...
