Roll Muddy River

Roll muddy river, roll on muddy river, roll on
I've got a notion you'll go to the ocean, alone
'Cause I've got a baby in Tennessee
Who's long been a-waitin' for a-little old me
So roll muddy river, roll on muddy river, roll on

New Orleans on to old Saint Lou
Stopped in Memphis, Minneapolis, too
Back in Nashville I'll be through
So roll muddy river roll on

Roll muddy river, roll on muddy river roll on
I've got a notion you'll go to the ocean, alone
'Cause I've got a baby in Tennessee
Who's long been a-waitin' for a-little old me
So roll muddy river, roll on muddy river, roll on

I love you but just call it fate
You and I are gonna separate
You'll be here but she won't wait
So roll muddy river roll on

Roll muddy river, roll on muddy river, roll on
I've got a notion you'll go to the ocean, alone
'Cause I've got a baby in Tennessee
Who's long been a-waitin' for a-little old me
So roll muddy river, roll on muddy river, roll on
Roll muddy river, roll on muddy river, roll
