LYRICS
Roll On
Mama said you gotta find another lover
Daddy shook his head, said you'll never recover
A broken heart is like an oil sheen
Roll on, love
Roll on
I'm a Mississippi chicken when it comes to lovers
to get outta this state I gotta fire the Governor
Now I float down the river like an oil sheen
Roll on, love
Roll on
Roll on, love
Roll on
Roll on, love
Roll on
Girl at the station got a lovely number
pale blue eyes and the sweetest mother
Her first wet kiss made my river run clean
Roll on, love
Roll on
Roll on, love
Roll on
She’s a Mississippi queen I can’t win
lover rode the river and then fell in
I thought I could fly, but I can't even swim
Hold on, boy
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Mama said you gotta find another lover
she put oil your heart, you don't get another
It's just me and the river now, thick as thieves
Roll on, love
Roll on
Roll on, love
Roll on
Roll on, love
Roll on
She's a pretty flower of the Veiux Carre now
Feeling frisky from the whiskey getting carried away now
Just hitting her stride when she lost her feet
‘Cause she drank too much of the river's sheen
Roll on, love
Roll on
Roll on, love
Roll on
Roll on, love
Roll on
