Oh, 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 hum in' lordy
Take a look at that shore
Soon I'll be with the folks I adore
There's a spot 'round that bend
That's my home, my journey's end
Come on you Old Man River, come on
Roll on, you Mississippi roll on!
New Orleans, hello!
Bye-bye New Orleans!
Get along
Goin' strong
Baby Rouge
So long!
Say Captain tell me
What's the next big town we'll see
I'm so excited, I forgot my geography
Natures town, do tell, farewell, natures town
Mustn't fret, I'm upset, gettin' worse, you bet
I gotta holler so they'll hear it miles around
I want the whole world to know that I'm Memphis bound
Come on you Old Man River, come on
Roll on, you Mississippi roll on!
