Lyrics of 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 a bend
Roll on mississippi, you make me feel like a child again

Cool river breeze, like peppermint leaves, the taste of it takes me back
Chewing on a straw, torn overalls, cane pole and 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, 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

When the world's spinning round, too fast for me, i need a place to dream
So i come to your banks, i sit in your shade, and 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 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
Roll on, mississippi, roll on
Roll on, mississippi, roll on
