| My lady love, she stands a-waitin' far across the wide Missouri
|
| On the banks I hear her callin' to me
|
| A-roll, a-roll a-ree, across the wide Missouri
|
| A-roll, a-roll a-ree, across the wide Missouri
|
| For seven years I’ve been a-roamin'
|
| Seven years I left the valley
|
| Now I live just for my true love to see
|
| A-roll, a-roll a-ree, across the wide Missouri
|
| A-roll, a-roll a-ree, across the wide Missouri
|
| For seven years I’ve been a-roamin'
|
| Seven years I left the valley
|
| Now I live just for my true love to see
|
| I’m pushing on when dawn’s a-breakin', goin' 'cross the wide Missouri where my
|
| love, she stands a-waitin' for me
|
| A roll, (a-roll a-ree), a roll a-ree, across the wide Missouri
|
| A roll, (a-roll a-ree), a roll a-ree, across the wide Missouri |
