Meryl Streep - My Minnesota Home lyrics

rate me

Way down upon that old Mississippi river

Not so far away

That’s where my folks have lived for ever

And that’s where I’m going to stay

I’ve been searching cross the whole creation

Half my life or more (and more)

But I found my own sweet satisfaction

Right here on that muddy river shore

all the World

It is so sad and dreary

every where I roll

oh (oh mama) mama how I miss the prairie

and my Minnesota home

I can see my mama’s sweet sweet face

Every Sunday morning

All the good old hymns

praise god that we’ve sung

we knelt in prayer

right beside of our precious aunts and uncles

Who loved us when we were young

In the valley of darkness

they are the shepherds

Who lead me to pastures green

And I’ll sit with my mama by the still still waters

And goodness and mercy follow me

I floated down the Columbia and the Hudson

Walked on the banks of the Ohio (Ohio Ohio)

on the banks of a Wabash

And the mighty Colorado

And the old red river way up north

all the world is a world of rivers

flowing to the sea

but here on that old Mississippi

here is the home for you and me

all the world

it is so sad and dreary

every where I roll

oh mama how I missed the prairie

and my Minnesota home
