Roll On, Mississippi, Roll On

Roll On, Mississippi, Roll On - The Boswell Sisters

Hear that whistle

There goes that bell

That means we're on our way

All aboard boy I'm feelin' swell

This is my happy day

Paddle wheel you're mighty mighty slow

That's why I keep on shoutin'

Let her go

Roll on you Mississippi roll on

Hang on you lazy steamer quit your stallin' and move along

Clear the river here we come

Watch her smoke boy

Hear that engine hummin' lawdy

Take a look at that shore

With the folks I adore

There's a spot around that bend

That's my home my journey's end

Come on you old man river come on

Roll on you Mississippi roll

New Orleans hello

Bye bye New Orleans

Get along

Goin' strong

Baton Rouge

Hold on

Say cap'n tell me

What's the next big town we'll see

I'm so excited I'm as happy as can be

Oh roll on you Mississippi roll on

Come on you lazy steamer move on

See that river here we come

Watch that smoke boy hear that hum

There's a spot

Around that bend

That's my home my journey's end

Here we come

Roll on you old man river come on

Move on you lazy steamer move on

Roll on you Mississippi

Roll on you Mississippi roll on
