Lyrics for Song: Roll Muddy River
Lyrics for Album: Heart to Heart [1968]
(Betty Sue Perry)
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 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.
--- Instrumental ---
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 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.
Roll muddy river, roll on muddy river, roll on...
