^F#And the Mississippi River's flowing ^Bdown^F#stream ^F#Meet the Gulf of Mexico somewhere ^Bdown^F#stream ^F#Meet the Atlantic Ocean somewhere ^Bdown^F#stream ^F#Gonna meet you in the water somewhere ^Bdown^F#stream

^F#Well we picked up Harry Truman floating down from ^BInde^F#pendence ^F#We said what about the war, he said ^Bgood ^F#riddance ^F#We said what about the bomb, are you ^Bsorry that you ^F#did it ^F#He said pass me that bottle and mind your ^Bown ^F#business
