Roll on Mississippi
Walkin' along, whistling a song
Bare foot and fancy free,
That big riverboat, passing 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
Cool river breeze, like peppermint leaves,
The taste of it takes me back,
Chewin' on a straw, torn overalls,
Cane pole and old straw hat, 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, carry me home
Now I can see I've been away too long
Roll on, Mississippi, roll on
When the world'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, big river roll
You're the childhood dream~ I grew up on
Roll on Mississippi, carry me home
Now I can see I've been away too long
Roll on, Mississippi, roll on
Mississippi
Roll on
