Roll On Mississippi Lyrics

Roll On Mississippi
By Charley Pride
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
Chew??n 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
Chorus:
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 and relive the memories
Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn
Roll on Mississippi; you make me feel like a child again
Roll on, Mississippi, Roll on
Roll on, Mississippi, Roll on
Roll on, Mississippi, Roll on
