At the peak of the great Mississippi River flood of 1993, the river in Iowa carried 435,000 cubic feet of water a second; at St Louis, after the Missouri River added it's waters, it carried 1 million cubic feet a second... In 1927... the Mississippi would be carrying in excess of three million cubic feet of water each second - J.M. Barry, Rising Tide The Great Mississippi Flood Of 1927
"What is I'm goin'" sounds right to me, Harry. I would suggest "fought" rather than "found" in the second verse despite his odd pronunciation, though. Chris
Hi Harry and Chris, I think in that tagline to to the first verse, Walter Roland sings: (what is IT I'm goin' to do) He squeezes in the "it" really quickly, but you can hear him come to a full stop on the "t" sound at the end of it an instant before he sings "I'm". All best, Johnm

I agree, Johnm, and wouldst point out, it is a common Shakespearean contraction.
