Roll On Mississippi

Walkin' along, whistlin' 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 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, muddy river Just like a long lost friend Roll on Mississippi You make me feel like a child again 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 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 (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, Mississippi, roll on, Mississippi (roll on Mississippi), roll on (roll on) Roll on, Mississippi, roll on Roll on, Mississippi --- Roll on Mississippi - Charley Pride
