Présentation du Mississippi (le fleuve) 56125z

THE   MISSISSIPPI  RIVER 5jh3l

   Old man river
    That old man river
    He must know something 
    But  don't say nothing
    He just keeps rolling
    He keeps on rolling along.

                   Old man river
                    He don't plant cotton
                    And them that plant them
                    Are soon forgotten
                    But old man river
                    He just keeps rolling along.

  You and me we sweat and strain
  Bodies all aching and racked with pain.
  Tote that barge! Lift that bale!
  Get a little drunk and we land in jail.

                    I get weary and sick of trying
                    I'm tired of living and scared of dying
                    But old man river
                    He just keeps rolling along.

	Le Mississippi et ses affluents forment l'un des bassins fluviaux les plus importants au monde. Ce bassin occupe le tiers du territoire américain. Le fleuve a un débit important, des crues puissantes.
	Il a fait l'objet de travaux colossaux. C'est une voie de communication essentielle au pays.
	Le Mississippi c'est pour nous Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, les champs de coton, les bateaux à aubes.
