lyrics

The wide and the mighty Mississippi she's a sight
won't you tell my Annie Dear she's still on my mind
won't you tell my Annie Dear my darling she's a sight

Annie she's my shepherd, she once was a love of mine
I followed her all around and she kept me in line

I gave her all my wool in the field and in the fold
I told her in the pasture I'm afraid of growing old

I've wished every morning, I've wished every night
to climb the Alleghenies and coast down the other side

Out west the wolves stay hungry it keeps me on the run
the sky feels as big as it did when we were young

Its not the silver, not the gold, not the garden that I seek
just a land where the wind that blows fans a fire beneath my feet

The wide and the mighty Mississippi she's a sight
won't you tell my Annie Dear she's still on my mind
won't you tell my Annie Dear my darling she's a sight
