King Of The River
Riders In The Sky

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)
