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 repeat #3
