Across The Wide Missouri

(Album: Here We Go Again! - 1959)

My lady love, she stands a-waiting far across the wide Missouri
On the banks I hear her calling 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-roaming
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-roaming
Seven years I left the valley
Now I live just for my true love to see

I'm pushing on when dawn's a-breaking, going 'cross the wide Missouri
Where my love, she stands a-waiting 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
