My lady love, she stands a-waitin' far across the wide Missouri
On the banks I hear her callin' to me
A-roll, a-roll a-ree, across the wide Missouri
A-roll, a-roll a-ree, across the wide Missouri
For seven years I've been a-roamin'
Seven years I left the valley
Now I live just for my true love to see
A-roll, a-roll a-ree, across the wide Missouri
A-roll, a-roll a-ree, across the wide Missouri
For seven years I've been a-roamin'
Seven years I left the valley
Now I live just for my true love to see
I'm pushing on when dawn's a-breakin', goin' 'cross the wide Missouri where my love, she stands a-waitin' for me
A roll, (a-roll a-ree), a roll a-ree, across the wide Missouri
A roll, (a-roll a-ree), a roll a-ree, across the wide Missouri
