Well I walked all the way from East St Louis town

Well I walked all the way from East St Louis town



And I aint got a dollar, I aint got but one thin dime

And I aint got a dollar, I aint got but one thin dime



And if I get lucky, Ill be riding home in style

If I get lucky Ill be riding home in style



Or I might sleep tonight down by the riverside

Gonna lay my head down by the riverside



Let that big Mississippi sing my lullaby

Let that old river water sing my lullaby
