Roll On, Mississippi, Roll On - Original - The Boswell Sisters

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!»

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!
