Well we're sittin' on the bank with the roots of the trees Watchin' all the frogs come in for spring Along the mighty Missouri It's the last day of March and it's 80 degrees Spider silk dancing on a gentle breeze Along the mighty Missouri And it's stuck to my boots and stained on my jeans Green leaves buddin' on cotton woods trees Along the muddy Missouri And it's stuck to my boots and stained on my jeans Green leaves buddin' on aspen trees Along the mighty Mississippi And we're sittin' on the bank with the rocks and the reeds Watchin' all the fish come in for spring Along the mighty Mississippi It's the first day of May and it's 50 degrees And there's rain drops fallin' on a river deep Along the mighty Oh along the mighty Mississippi
