Roll On Mississippi Charley Pride
Roll On Mississippi
By Charley Pride
Capo 3
[D]Walking a[D/C#]long, whistling a [Bm]song, barefoot and [G]fancy [D]free
A [D]big riverboat, [D/C#]passing us [Bm]by, sheâ??s headed fo[G]r New O[D]rleans
There she [A]goes, disappearing around the [D]bend.
[D]Roll on Missis[A]sippi; you make me feel like a [D]child again.
A cool river breeze, like peppermint leaves, the taste of it takes me back
Chewâ??n on a straw, torn overalls, a cane pole and old straw hat and muddy river
Just like a long lost friend
Roll on Mississippi, you make me feel like a child again
Chorus:
[D]Roll [G]on Missi[D]ssippi,[G] big river [D]roll
Youâ??re th[Bm]e childhood [A]dream that I grew u[G]p on[A]
Roll on Missi[G]ssip[A]pi, carry me [Bm]home
Now [G]I can see Iâ??ve been away too[A] long
Roll [D]on, Missi[G]ssippi, roll [D]on
Now, when the world's spinning round, too fast for me And I need a place to dream
So I come to your banks, I sit in your shade and relive the memories
Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn
Roll on Mississippi; you make me feel like a child again
Chorus
Roll on, Mississippi, Roll on
Roll on, Mississippi, Roll on
Roll on, Mississippi, Roll on
