Miss Ferris

John Hartford

Key: D

Now DI had a teacher when GI went to school,

She loved the river, and she taDught about it too.

I'se a Gpretty bad boy, but she cDalled my bluff,

With her gDreat big collection of stGeamboat stuff. Oh, yDeah!

She had log-books and bells and the things like that,

And she knew the old captains and where they were at.

She rode the Alabama and the Gordon C. Green,

As the Cape Girardeau, she was later renamed, Uh-huh.

But her vGery favorite, as you all know,

Was the GoDlden Eagle, Captain Buck's old boat.

ThGis old stern wheeler sank and went to heaven,

When DI was in the fourth grade, in nAineteen forty-seven, Uh-huh!

Well, now, fast people in St. Louis society

A-takin' a trip on the Mississippi

Sleepin' in their bunks after an after-dinner drink

They didn't think the boat would sink. Oh, no!

Well, I know Captain Buck was a very sad man

When that old wooden hull went into the sand

And Miss Ferris was sad for sure

But immediately, her mind went to work. Oh, yeah!

Well, she did some politicking that was tricky and hard

And she got the pilot house for the schoolhouse yard

And so, instead of studying, I became a dreamer

Dreaming 'bout boats and the Mississippi River. Uh-huh.

I had to work real hard to get my school work done

Cause you could not fool Miss Ferris none;

And, if I went to sleep or I were not supposed to talk

Oh, she was a dead shot with a little piece of chalk. Uh-huh!{soc}

Oh me, oh my, how the time does fly.

Time and the river keep a-rollin' on by.

Now, I am not a student and she is not a teacher

But, we both still love the Mississippi River. Uh, huh.

As I was walking that ribbon of highway,

I looked above me, there in the skyway,

I saw below me, the Golden Valley;

This land was made for you and me.

I roamed and rambled,

and followed my footsteps

Through the sparkling sands of

her diamond deserts,

And all around me this voice kept saying,

"This land was made for you and me."

Oh, my loving Fmother,

when the world's on Cfire,

don't you want God's Gbosom

to be your Cpillow?

Tide me Fover in the Rock of CAges

Rock of GAges cleft for Cme.

Through the wheat fields waving

People held their breath

when they heard about his death

wondered how he ever came to fall

It was Robert Ford, that little coward,

shot Jesse while he hung a picture on the wall
