Roll muddy river

Roll on muddy river roll on

I've got a notion you'll

Go to the ocean alone

Cause I've got a baby in Tennessee

Who's long been a-waitin'

For a-little old me

So roll muddy river

Roll on muddy river roll on

New Orleans on to old Saint Lou

Stopped in Memphis

Minneapolis too

Back in Nashville I'll be through

So roll muddy river roll on

Roll muddy river

Roll on muddy river roll on

I've got a notion you'll

Go to the ocean alone

Cause I've got a baby in Tennessee

Who's long been a-waitin'

For a-little old me

So roll muddy river

Roll on muddy river roll on

I love you but just call it fate

You and I are gonna separate

You'll be here but she won't wait

So roll muddy river roll on

Roll muddy river

Roll on muddy river roll on

I've got a notion you'll

Go to the ocean alone

Cause I've got a baby in Tennessee

Who's long been a-waitin'

For a-little old me

So roll muddy river

Roll on muddy river roll on

So muddy river roll

On muddy river roll on

So Roll muddy river

Roll on muddy river roll on

So Roll muddy river
