lyrics

Rising river don't dare take my land
With your crooked-handed glance
Wife and child took to higher ground
Said I'd stay down to dance

Reaped these fields since my daddy passed
Warmed my homestead with his ax
Mississippi won't drown the shepherd, no

Rising river are you listening
Or drowned in a bleat obscene?
Take my sheep, my youngest lamb
I'll buy your sand, growing man

Ain't set to die, well not today
I ain't fit for a sailor's grave
Mississippi wouldn't drown the shepherd, no

Rising river now you got my feet
Can't turn away, you keep coiling
You start to make one final climb
If I could just wind back time...

Should have gone when I was told
Hope he's wiser when he's grown
Mississippi done drowned the shepherd, no.
