Mississippi (Roll On Forever)
Well to skitter some day so carry you away in the summertime
The weeds grow tall and the crickets and the frogs sing a lullaby
The whole town sleeps all day in the heat of the summer sun
So you sit on the bank and watch the river run
Ooh Mississippi roll on forever
Ooh Mississippi take me all the way to New Orleans
Well the willow tree sways in the heat all day by the riverside
When the sun gets high Lord it gets so quite you could lose your mind
So you drink ice tea on the porch and you dream of far-a-way
I'm gonna leave this one horse town some day
Ooh Mississippi roll on forever
Ooh Mississippi take me all the way to New Orleans
Ooh Mississippi roll on forever
Ooh Mississippi take me all the way to New Orleans
The weeds grow tall and the crickets and the frogs sing a lullaby
The whole town sleeps all day in the heat of the summer sun
So you sit on the bank and watch the river run
Ooh Mississippi roll on forever
Ooh Mississippi take me all the way to New Orleans
Well the willow tree sways in the heat all day by the riverside
When the sun gets high Lord it gets so quite you could lose your mind
So you drink ice tea on the porch and you dream of far-a-way
I'm gonna leave this one horse town some day
Ooh Mississippi roll on forever
Ooh Mississippi take me all the way to New Orleans
Ooh Mississippi roll on forever
Ooh Mississippi take me all the way to New Orleans
