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

A cool river breeze like peppermint leaves

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 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
