ACROSS THE WIDE MISSOURI (Ervin Drake - Jimmy Shirl) «© '55 Jericho Music » My lady love she stands a waitin' far across the wide Missouri On the banks I hear her calling to me A ro a ro la lee across wide Missouri a ro a ro la lee across wide Missouri For seven years I've been a roamin' seven years I led the valley Now I live just for my true love to see A ro a ro la lee across wide Missouri a ro a ro la lee across wide Missouri I'm pushin' off when dawn is breaking goin' cross the wide Missouri Where my love she stands a waitin' for me A ro a ro la lee across wide Missouri A ro a ro la lee across wide Missouri (a ro la lee)
