Charley Pride - Roll On Mississippi Lyrics
Roll On MississippiWalking along, whistling a songHalf foot and fancy free,A big riverboat, passing us by, sheâs headed for New OrleansThere 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,Chewân on a straw, torn overalls,I canât hold an old straw and muddy river.Just like a long lost friend.Roll on Mississippi; you make me feel like a child againRoll on Mississippi, big river roll.Youâre the childhood dream that I grew up on.Roll on Mississippi, carry me home.Now I can see Iâve 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 shadeRelive the memoriesTom Sawyer and Huckleberry FinnRoll on Mississippi; you make me feel like a child againRoll on Mississippi, Big river rollYouâre the childhood dream that I grew up on.Roll on Mississippi, carry me home.Now I can see Iâve been away too long.Roll on, Mississippi, Roll on, Mississippi,Roll on, Mississippi, Roll onRoll on, Mississippi, Roll onRoll on, Mississippi, Roll on
