Roll On, Muddy River

lyrics

Roll on, muddy river, roll on for me
I got me a notion that you might be goin' my way
I got me a woman down in Tennessee
She's been waitin' a long time to see little old me

Three long months on a sand barge tour
How much more can a man endure?
It's high time that I was home for sure
So roll on, muddy river, roll on, roll on

Roll on, muddy river, roll on for me
I got me a notion that you might be goin' my way
I got me a woman down in Tennessee
She's been waitin' a long time to see little old me

Down to New Orleans, up in St. Louis
Stop by Memphis, Minneapolis too
Now back in Nashville I'll be surely soon
So roll on, muddy river, roll on for me

Roll on, muddy river, roll on for me
I got me a notion that you might be goin' my way
I got me a woman down in Tennessee
She's been waitin' a long time to see little old me

I love you, babe, but I'll just call it fate
You and I are soon gonna seperate
I know you'll be there, but I know you won't wait
So roll on, muddy river, roll on, roll on

Roll on, muddy river, roll on for me
I got me a notion that you might be goin' my way
I got me a woman down in Tennessee
She's been waitin' a long time to see little old me

Roll on, muddy river, roll on for me
I got me a notion that you might be goin' my way
I got me a woman down in Tennessee
She's been waitin' a long time to see little old me
She's been waitin' a long time to see little old me
