Lyrics Meryl Streep

Meryl Streep

My Minnesota Home

Way down upon little Mississippi river

Not so far away

That's where my fokes have lived 4 ever

And that's where I'm goin' to stay

I've been searching across the whole creation

Half my life or more (and more)

But I found my one sweet Satisfaction

Right here on that muddy river shore

All the World

It is so sad and dreary

Every where I roll

Oh mama...how I miss the prairie

and my Minnesota home

I can see my mama's sweet, sweet face

Every Sunday morning

All the good all hymns

praise god that we've

we melt in prepare

right beside of our precious aunts and uncles

Who loved us when we were young

In the valley of darkness

they are the shepherds

Who lead me to pastures green

And I'll sit with my mama by the still still waters

And goodness and mercy follow me

I floated down the Columbia and the Hudson

Walked on the banks of the Ohio (Ohio Ohio)

on the banks of a Wabash

And the mighty Colorado

And the old red river way up north

All the world is a world of rivers

Flowing too the sea

but here on that old Mississippi

Here is the home for you and me

All the world it is so sad and dreary

Every where I roll

Oh mama... how I missed the prairie

and my Minnesota home
