Roll On Mississippi

Walking along whistling a song bare foot 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

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 you make me feel like a child again

Roll on Mississippi big river roll

You´re the childhood dream that I grew upon

Roll on Mississippi carry me h-ome

Now I can see I´ve been away too long

Roll on Mississippi roll on

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 upon

Roll on Mississippi carry me h-ome

Now I can see I´ve been away too long

Roll on Mississippi roll on
