Lyrics
?ROLL ON MUDDY RIVER?
Timothy Lee Horlacher
copyright 2003
Sittin? on the Mississippi, watch?en all the boats go by
Sittin? on the Mississippi, watch?en all the boats go by
I?m gonna hitch me a ride
See my baby on the other side
Roll on Muddy River, Mississippi River roll on
Roll on Muddy River, Mississippi roll on
Cause me and my baby
Gonna party all night long
Got her a bouquet of flowers, got us a bottle of wine
Got her a bouquet of flowers, got us a bottle of wine
Cause me and my baby
Gonna have us a real good time
Roll on Muddy River, Mississippi River roll on
Roll on Muddy River, Mississippi roll on
Cause me and my baby
Gonna party all night long
Well I crossed that Muddy River, Now I?m on the other side
Yes I crossed that Muddy River, Now I?m on the other side
And yonder comes my baby
Lord she?s lookin? so fine
Roll on Muddy River, Mississippi River roll on
Roll on Muddy River, Mississippi roll on
Cause me and my baby
Gonna party all night long
Yes me and my baby, gonna party all night long
