Lyrics Roll On, Mississippi, Roll On - Original - The Boswell Sisters

Roll On, Mississippi, Roll On - Original

Hear that whistle, there goes the bell
That means we’re on our way
All a-board!
Boy I’m feelin' swell
This is my happy day!
Paddle wheel, you’re mighty mighty slow
That’s why I keep shouting «Let her go!»
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 hummin' Lawdy!
Take a look at the shore.
Soon I’ll be with the folks I adore
There’s a spot 'round the bend
That’s my home, my journey’s end
Come n you Old Man River, come on!
Roll on you Mississippi, roll on!
