i ate my oats and barley
now i am it and it is me
we kissed suzie all night long
had a little whiskey out on the mississippi
we kissed suzie all night long

i got a mountain
i got a story
i got a river
and it flows for me
i got it all

i ate from my cherry tree
now them cherries are a part of me
we watched the storm shake all night long
had a little bourbon
washed away our burdens
we watched the storm shake all night long

i got a mountain
i got a story
i got a river
and it flows for me
i got it all

i ate my sheep for dinner
then i took him to the theater
we played music all night long
had a little whiskey out on the mississippi
we played music all night long

i got a mountain
i got a story
i got a river
and it flows for me
i got it all
