Mississippi (Roll On Forever) - Mel McDaniel

Well to skitter some day so carry you away in the summertime

The weeds grow tall and the crickets and the frogs sing a lullaby

The whole town sleeps all day in the heat of the summer sun

So you sit on the bank and watch the river run

Ooh Mississippi roll on forever

Ooh Mississippi take me all the way to New Orleans

Well the willow tree sways in the heat all day by the riverside

When the sun gets high Lord it gets so quite you could lose your mind

So you drink ice tea on the porch and you dream of far-a-way

I’m gonna leave this one horse town some day

Ooh Mississippi roll on forever

Ooh Mississippi take me all the way to New Orleans

Ooh Mississippi roll on forever

Ooh Mississippi take me all the way to New Orleans
