Miss Ferris - John Hartford[00:00:00]

Lyricist：John Hartford[00:00:06]

Composer：John Hartford[00:00:12]

Now I had a teacher when I went to school[00:00:19]

She loved the river and she taught about it too[00:00:22]

I'm a pretty bad boy but she called my bluff[00:00:25]

With her great big collection of steamboat stuff[00:00:28]

She had log books and bells and the things like that[00:00:36]

And she knew the old captains and where they were at[00:00:39]

She rode the alabama and the gordon C green[00:00:42]

As the cape giraudoux she was later renamed uh huh[00:00:45]

But her very favorite as you all know[00:00:54]

Was the golden eagle captain buck's old boat[00:00:57]

This old stern wheeler sank and went to heaven[00:01:00]

When I was in the fourth grade[00:01:03]

In nineteen forty seven[00:01:05]

Well now fast people in St Louis society[00:01:12]

A takin a trip on the Mississippi[00:01:15]

Sleepin in their bunks after an after dinner drink[00:01:18]

They didn't think the boat would sink oh no[00:01:21]

Well I know captain buck was a very sad man[00:01:30]

When that old wooden hull went into the sand[00:01:33]

And Miss Ferris was sad for sure[00:01:36]

But immediately her mind went to work oh yeah[00:01:39]

Well she did some politicking that was tricky and hard[00:01:47]

And she got the pilot house for the schoolhouse yard[00:01:51]

And so instead of studying I became a dreamer[00:01:54]

Dreaming 'bout boats and the Mississippi river[00:01:57]

I had to work real hard to get to work done[00:02:27]

'Cause you could not fool Miis Ferris none[00:02:30]

And if I went to sleep or[00:02:34]

I were not supposed to talk[00:02:35]

Oh she was a dead shot with[00:02:36]

A little piece of chalk uh huh[00:02:38]

Oh me oh my how the time does fly[00:02:45]

Time and the river keep a rollin on by[00:02:49]

Now I am not a student and sh is not a teacher[00:02:52]

But we both still love the Mississippi river[00:02:54]

Well I went to see her this Christmas last[00:03:03]

We took a little trip back through the past[00:03:07]

On the easy rocker we looked at pictures[00:03:09]

And we dreamed our dreams of the Mississippi river[00:03:12]

Oh me oh my how the time does fly[00:03:21]

Time and the river keep a rollin on by[00:03:25]

Now I am not a student and she is not a teacher[00:03:28]

But we both still love the Mississippi river uh huh[00:03:31]
