Roll On Mississippi

Roll On Mississippi - Various Artists

Walking along whistling a song

Barefoot and fancy free

A 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

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

You're 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 that I grew up on

Roll on Mississippi carry me home

Can't you 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 that I grew up on

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 Mississippi Mississippi

Roll on roll on Mississippi
