Roll Muddy River Lyrics - Jean Shepard

Roll muddy river, roll on muddy river, roll on 

I've got a notion, you'll go to the ocean alone 

I've got a baby in Tennessee 

Who's long been a waitin' for little ole me 

So, roll, muddy river, roll on, muddy river, roll on 

New Orleans on to ole St Louis 

Stopped in Memphis, Minneapolis too 

Back in Nashville, I'll be through 

So, roll muddy river, roll on 

Roll, muddy river, roll on 

I love you but just call it fate 

You and I are gonna separate 

You'll be here but he won't wait 

So, roll, muddy river, roll on 

Roll, muddy river, roll on 

Roll muddy river, roll on, muddy river, roll on
