Roll river roll - oh the peace man Indian hand hold true
Roll river roll - go away the mighty blue
Roll river roll - away down yonder in the whisperin' pines
Roll river roll - just talkin' like a friend of mine
If you wanna wish upon a star
And I know what kind of cynical man you are
All gone crazy in the heart and mind
But you can know a better time
This big muddy rollin to the sea
If you can be a believer it'll set you free
Last stop whistle on the Delta Queen
Leavin this bitter scene
Roll river roll - through the wishin little Willy on the cold hard street
Roll river roll - and stand him up upon his feet
Roll river roll - through the valley of the eagle and the end of time
Roll river roll - talkin like a friend of mine
That matchless beauty in his own heyday
Makin up promises it all will pay
Was it stonewall that gathered on the other shore
To make it not to pay no more?
It's a cloak and a dagger and the man's insane
And the love of a child will always remain
This rollin river come and set me free
As a poor man's daddy can be
Roll river roll - and the wishin well mamma's on a lift and glide
Roll river roll - go away the other side
Oh roll river roll - deep water fast run wide one too
Roll river roll - go away the mighty blue
Roll river roll - and my Grandpa Joe's old twinklin mind goes
Roll river roll - he's a - singin you can be a friend of mine
