Have you ever took a boat ride down the Mississippi

Honey if you ever do you oughta take it on the Ella B

And she take you down to Orleans and out to the sea

Well you heard about the ship called Queen Mary

That sailed on the northern sea

Well it takes about a week to get back down that old Mississippi river

E

When you get on board you wish it would last forever

Sit on the deck fish off the side all day

E

Watch the sunny southland roll by and dream your blues away

A E

Heard about the ship Titanic

A E

Sank it on the northern sea

A E B7 *(G#, G, F#) E

Ain't never took no boat ride 'till you been riding on the Mississippi

(Full House Aces High Live version ending)

Well there ain't no tourist class and it ain't too fast

Just one for all and we're having a ball
