Roll On Mississippi

Walkin' along, whistlin' a song

Barefoot and fancy free

A big riverboat passin' us by

She's headed for New Orleans

There she goes

Disappearing around the bend

Roll on Mississippi

You make me feel like a child again

A cool river breeze like peppermint leaves

The taste of it takes me back

Chewin' on a straw, torn overalls

A cane pole and old straw hat and muddy river

Just like a long lost friend

Roll on Mississippi

You make me feel like a child again

Roll on Mississippi

Big river roll

You're the childhood dream I grew up on

Roll on Mississippi (Roll on Mississippi)

Carry me home

Now I can see I've been away too long

Roll on, Mississippi, roll on

When the worlds's spinnin' round too fast for me

I need a place to dream

So I come to your banks, I sit in your shade

And relive the memories

Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn

Roll on Mississippi

You make me feel like a child again

Roll on Mississippi (Roll on Mississippi)

Big river roll

You're the childhood dream I grew up on

Roll on Mississippi (Roll on Mississippi)

Carry me home

I can see I've been away too long

Roll on, Mississippi, roll on

Mississippi, roll on (Roll on Mississippi)

Roll on Mississippi, roll on

Roll on Mississippi, roll on
