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 awaitin' for little ole me
Roll muddy river, roll on muddy river, roll on
New Orleans onto 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 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 awaitin' for little ole me
Roll muddy river, roll on muddy river, roll on
--- Instrumental ---
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
I've got a baby in Tennessee who's long been awaitin' for little ole me
Roll muddy river, roll on muddy river, roll on
Roll muddy river, roll on muddy river, roll on...
