Roll On Mississippi
Recorded by Charley Pride
=========================================================
C F C
Walking along whistling a song bare foot and fancy free
F C
A big riverboat passing us by she's headed for New Orleans
G7 C
There she goes disappearing around the bend
G7 C
Roll on Mississippi you make me feel like a child again
A cool river breeze like peppermint leaves
F C
The taste of it takes me back chewing on a straw torn overalls
F C G7 C
I can't hold an old straw hat muddy river just like a long lost friend
G7 C
Roll on Mississippi you make me feel like a child again
F C F C
Roll on Mississippi big river roll
D7 G7
You're the childhood dream that I grew upon
F C F
Roll on Mississippi carry me h-ome
G7
Now I can see I've been away too long
C G7 C
Roll on Mississippi roll on
Now when the world's spinning round too fast for me
F C
And I need a place to dream so I come to your banks
F C G7 C
I sit in your shade relive the memories Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn
G7 C
Roll on Mississippi you make me feel like a child again
