C5                              F5                   C5
Walking along whistling a song bare foot and fancy free
                                    F5              C5
A big riverboat passing us by she?s headed for New Orleans
          G5                           C5
There she goes disappearing around the bend
           G5                                     C5
Roll on Mississippi you make me feel like a child again

       
A cool river breeze like peppermint leaves
                F5        C5
The taste of it takes me back  chewing on a straw torn overalls
                F5         C5         G5                          C5
I can?t hold an old straw hat muddy river just like a long lost friend
           G5                                     C5
Roll on Mississippi you make me feel like a child again

F5       C5           F5         C5
Roll on Mississippi big river roll
           D5                            G5
You?re the childhood dream that I grew upon
        F5                    C5   F5
Roll on Mississippi carry me h-ome
                                 G5
Now I can see I?ve been away too long
     C5               G5   C5
Roll on Mississippi  roll on


Now when the world's spinning round too fast for me
      F5               C5
And I need a place to dream  so I come to your banks
                    F5              C5        G5                     C5
I sit in your shade relive the memories Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn
           G5                                      C5
Roll on Mississippi  you make me feel like a child again
