paroles de chanson Roll on, Mississippi, roll on - The Boswell Sisters , The Dorsey Brothers Orchestra

Hear that whistle, there goes the bell
That means we're on our way
All aboard boy, I'm feeling swell
This is my happy day
Paddle wheel, you're mighty mighty slow
That's why I keep on shoutin', "Let her go!"

Roll on you Mississippi, roll on
Come on you lazy steamer, quit your stallin' and move along!
Clear the river, here we come
Watch her smoke boy
Hear that engine hummin', lawdy!
Take a look at that shore
With the folks I adore

There's a spot 'round that bend
That's my home, my journey's end

Come on you old man river, come on
Roll on you Mississippi, roll!

New Orleans, hello!
Bye-bye New Orleans!
Get along
Goin' strong
Baton Rouge
Hold on!

Say capt'n, tell me
What's the next big town we'll see?
I'm so excited I'm as happy as can be, oh!

Roll on you Mississippi, roll on,
Come on, you lazy steamer, move on!

Clear that river, here we come!
Watch her smoke boy, hear that hum!

There's a spot 'round that bend
That's my home, my journey's end
(Here we come!)
Doggone you old man river, come on!
Move on you lazy steamer, move on!
Roll on, you Mississippi,
Roll on, you Mississippi, roll on!
