I'm Mike Fink King of the river Listen to the thunder Hear the winds roar Hurricane's a-coming Board up the door Load up the cannon Call up the law Worstest calamity That folks never saw Girls run and hide Brave men shiver I'm Mike Fink King of the river Oh, he's a ring-tail roarer And a tough old alligator Oh, he's a bull-nosed bully And a real depopulator Oh, what a deep divin catfish That always come up dry He's gonna live forever Born too mean to die Dug the whole Ohio With my big toe Filled her up with water Made the critter flow Stomped out the valley Scraped up the ridge Wade across the river 'Cause I don't trust no bridge And then an earthquake Make mountains quiver I'm Mike Fink King of the river Oh he can uptalk a lawyer [Incomprehensible] Oh, he can upchop thunder And her son say that he can Oh, what a fightin' devil He'll spit right in your eye He's gonna live forever Born too mean to die (Born too mean to die)
