HUCK & JIM
ON THE MISSISSIPPI

Music and Lyrics by Frederick George Moore
Copyright © September 4, 1993
Demophonic Music Publishing BMI
Used with permission

Like snow and ice cutting them down
With a cold Norwegian stare
They roamed the sidewalks arm in arm
A bold, flamboyant pair

On the crowded streets, still alone
Like rafters on the float
Gliding down the great wide river
From the glaciers to the gulf coast

Run away from the banks of the Mississippi
To the promise of Castro street
To the city lights and north beaches
Where the kindred spirits meet

no more freezing in silence
from a provincial attitude
In the snowbound taverns
Ignorance, not really rude

HUCK & JIM ran away
From the ties that bind
HUCK & JIM ran away
Left the Mississippi behind
HUCK & JIM ran away
