Lyrics
Won’t you roll on Mississippi
Won’t you roll on, roll on
Won’t you roll on Mississippi
Roll on
Won’t you roll on Mississippi
Take me far off from this city
Won’t you roll on Mississippi
Roll on
I went walking into Greenville
With my rider by my side
I went walking into Greenville
Last night
I went walking into Greenville
Where I left her by the sawmill
Won’t you roll on Mississippi
Roll on
Won’t you roll on Mississippi
Won’t you roll on, roll on
Won’t you roll on Mississippi
Roll on
Won’t you roll on Mississippi
Take me far off from this city
Won’t you roll on Mississippi
Roll on
I went strolling into Jackson
With my guitar in my hand
I went strolling into Jackson
With my band
I went strolling into Jackson
Just a-waiting for stuff to happen
Won’t you roll on Mississippi
Roll on
Won’t you roll on Mississippi
Won’t you roll on, roll on
Won’t you roll on Mississippi
Roll on
Won’t you roll on Mississippi
Take me far off from this city
Won’t you roll on Mississippi
Roll on
