Roll On Mississippi Lyrics - 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, 

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
