Charley Pride - Roll on Mississippi lyrics
[Charley Pride - Roll on Mississippi lyrics]
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
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
