Song title: Charley Pride - Roll On Mississippi

Edit By: 216.73.217.135

Roll On Mississippi
Walking along, whistling a song
Half foot and fancy free,
A big riverboat, passing us by, sheâ€™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,
Chewâ€™n on a straw, torn overalls,
I canâ€™t hold an old straw 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.
Youâ€™re the childhood dream that I grew up on.
Roll on Mississippi, carry me home.
Now I can see Iâ€™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
Youâ€™re the childhood dream that I grew up on.
Roll on Mississippi, carry me home.
Now I can see Iâ€™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
