Lyrics:

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
