Roll on Mississippi

歌詞

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, Mississippi, roll on
