recorded by Shelby Lynne on Restless
1.P[D]ut me on a boat on the mighty Mississippi
Let old man river sl[G]ow me d[D]own
Been too long gone from my sweet dixie
Chasin' a dream from t[A]own to t[D]own
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
C.Sl[G]ow m[C]e d[D]own
Somethin' 'bout the rhythm and the rollin' of the river
Sl[G]ow m[C]e d[D]own
Rocks me like a baby in a rockin' chair
Sl[G]ow m[C]e d[D]own
Sometin' 'bout the smell of a sweet magnolia
Sl[G]ow m[C]e d[D]own
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)
