Lyrics

Mighty River - Copyright Andy G. Twangers

Take me home old Mighty River
Your currents pull me strong
That sugar town, I really miss her
I’ve been away to long

4 troubled years I waited
From 6 1 to 6 5
Land of the Free, took all that I had
To keep your memory alive

Take me home old Mighty River
Your currents pull so strong.
That one horse town, I really miss her
I’ve been away to long

100 miles from Natchez
That river road runs deep
Home of the brave, took all that I had
My pride is all I can keep

Bridge

The march from Jackson to Vicksburg
Young rebels sworn and torn
The hell we saw…we didn’t see coming
We couldn’t hold on that long

10,000 battle cries for freedom
The seeds of war that we did reap
Those blue-coat jacks, took all that we had
Our tears are all that we keep

Take me home old Mighty River
Your currents pull me strong
That sugar town, do really miss her
I’ve been away to long

Take me home old Muddy River
I’ve been away to long
