This is a collection of songs grouped by theme more than by style - my impressions of living in the deep south, still with the legacy of the Civil War.

Story behind the song
This was written long before Hurricane Katrina...probably just from my visits to New Orleans, sitting by the river & playing my guitar. The proper names are riverboats.
Lyrics
Mighty Mississippi mama singing up a storm In a cozy little corner when the day is getting warm Ragged little river children dancing on the dike Laughing on the levee with the people that I like Muddy Mississippi where I sit and play the blues People love to gamble and forget about the news The romance of the river on a sticky night in June With a lazy banjo playing 'neath the pale summer moon There's 97 people on the Mississippi Queen Floating down the river on the way to Muscatine And the Mississippi Belle she's the President's delight Come down to New Orleans on a Mississippi night
