roll on mississippi

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. 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. now i can see i've been away too long. roll on

mississippi

roll on. now

when the world's spinning round

too fast for me

and i need a place to dream. so i come to your banks

i sit in your shade

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

mississippi

roll on

mississippi

roll on

mississippi

roll on

roll on

mississippi

roll on

roll on
