Verse:
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!"
Chorus:
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!
