Life on the Mississippi words & music by Lisa Cannon © 1996 Sunflower Sole Music (ASCAP) Life on the Mississippi Life on the Mississippi River's a' rising, river's a' rising and it's getting too deep River's a' rising I hope it clears by the morning River's a' rising The water's raining out a warning And it's threatening to flood over everything I see Great sun look down upon the waters And dry up the danger on the land Great sun look down upon the waters I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone I 'been rolling this river too long alone Life on the Mississippi Where all the rises and the falls and the trappings call you into danger River's a' rising, river's a' rising and it's getting too deep River's a' rising I hope it clears by the morning River's a' rising The deluge is driving out a warning And it looks like I'm in need of someone to rescue me Great sun look down upon the waters And dry up the danger on the land Great sun look down upon the waters I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone I 'been rolling this river too long alone And now the river's too deep for my own good For my own good, yeah, the river's too deep River's a' rising I hope it clears by the morning River's a' rising The deluge is driving out a warning And it looks like I'm in need of someone to rescue me Great sun look down upon the waters And dry up the danger on the land Great sun look down upon the waters I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone I 'been rolling this river too long alone Life on the Mississippi Life on the Mississippi
