Charley Pride "Roll on Mississippi" |
(Kye Fleming - Dennis Morgan) 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... Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
