Verse: 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!"
Chorus: 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!
