about

Dann found some of the lyrics to this song in an Ancient Egyptian book of poetry...moved them around a little, added a couple and POOF a blues song.

lyrics

I'm going downstream on the Memphis Ferry
Like a Runaway Snapping All Ties
with a bundle of clothes on my shoulder
singing good God won't you give me a girl tonight

Going downstream on the Memphis Ferry
Going down where the living is
When I get there I pray
Gonna find me a girl to kiss.

The river is flowing over the banks
the tigers and lilies grow
the children are playing amongst the reeds
and the twilight it starts to grow

Going downstream on the Memphis Ferry
like a runaway snapping all ties
Going downstream on the Memphis Ferry
gonna find me a girl tonight

Going downstream on the Memphis Ferry
gonna find the great big city lights
Going downstream on the Memphis Ferry
I dont care if I'm wrong or I'm right.

When I get there I pray I'm gonna find me a girl tonight.
