My lady love, she stands a-waitin' far across the wide Missouri.
On the banks I hear her callin' to me.
Chorus:
A-roll, a-roll a-ree, across the wide Missouri. (Repeat line)
For seven years I've been a-roamin'. Seven years I left the
valley. Now I live just for my true love to see.
(Chorus)
I'm pushing on when dawn's a-breakin', goin' 'cross the wide
Missouri where my love, she stands a-waitin' for me.
A roll, (a-roll a-ree), a roll a-ree, across the wide Missouri.
(Repeat)
