Roll on Mississippi
View ArtistLyrics
[Verse 1] Walking along, whistling a song Barefoot and fancy free A big riverboat, passing us by, she's headed for New Orleans [Refrain] There she goes, disappearing around the bend Roll on, Mississippi, you make me feel like a child again [Verse 2] 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 [Refrain] And muddy river, just like a long-lost friend Roll on, Mississippi, you make me feel like a child again [Chorus] 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 Now I can see I've been away too long Roll on (Roll on), Mississippi, roll on (Roll on) [Verse 3] 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 [Refrain] Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn Roll on, Mississippi, you make me feel like a child again [Chorus] 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 Now I can see I've been away too long Roll on (Roll on), Mississippi, roll on [Outro] Mississippi, roll on Roll on, Mississippi, roll on Roll on, Mississippi, roll on Roll on, Mississippi, roll on
