Roll On, Mississippi, Roll On

Roll On, Mississippi, Roll On

(Eugene West / James McCaffrey / David Ringle)


Deauville Dance Band. A Harry Hudson band

Roll on, you Mississippi, roll on
Come on you lazy steamer, move on
Clear the river, here we come
Watch her smoke boy hear that engine hum in' lawdy
Take a look at that shore
Soon I'll be with the folks I adore
There's a spot 'round that bend,
That's my home, my journey's end
Come on you Old Man River, come on
Roll on, you Mississippi roll on
