   D 
1.Put me on a boat on the mighty Mississippi 
                      G      D 
  Let old man river slow me down 
  Been too long gone from my sweet dixie 
                        A       D 
  Chasin' a dream from town to town 
 
2.So I called my baby in Mobile, Alabama 
  Said meet me in Memphis on the Jackson Queen 
  Tell you right now we ain't in no big hurry 
  To make our way down to New Orleans 
 
    G   C  D 
C.Slow me down 
  Somethin' 'bout the rhythm and the rollin' of the river 
    G   C  D 
  Slow me down 
  Rocks me like a baby in a rockin' chair 
    G   C  D 
  Slow me down 
  Sometin' 'bout the smell of a sweet magnolia 
    G   C  D 
  Slow me down 
  Makes me forget all my trounles and cares 
  Just a few more miles and I'll be there 
 
3.Well I need a little time for some relaxation 
  A little bit of lovin' from my sugar pie 
  Only Heaven knows how my heart's been achin' 
  For a big yellow moon in a southern sky 
 
(Repeat chorus and 3rd verse)
