My lady love, she stands a′waitin'
Far across the wide Missouri
On the banks I hear her callin′ to me

A-roll, a-rollaree
Across the wide Missouri
A-roll, a-rollaree
Across the wide Missouri


For seven years I've been a-roamin'
Seven years I left the valley
Now I live just for my true love to see

A-roll, a-rollaree
Across the wide Missouri
A-roll, a-rollaree
Across the wide Missouri

I′m pushin′ on when dawn's a-breakin′
Goin' ′cross the wide Missouri
Where my love, she stands a-waitin' for me

A-roll (a-rollaree)
A-rollaree
Across the wide Missouri
A-roll (a-rollaree)
A-rollaree
Across the wide Missouri
