Roll On Mississippi

Walking along, whistling a song

Bare foot and fancy free

Big riverboat, passing us by

She's headed for New Orleans

There she goes disappearing around a 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

Chewing on a straw torn overalls

I can't hold an old straw hat

Muddy river just like a long lost friend

Roll on Mississippi

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 spinning 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

Cause 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
