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
|
