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-roll a-ree, across the wide Missouri.
A-roll, a-roll a-ree, 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-roll a-ree, across the wide Missouri.
A-roll, a-roll a-ree, 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.

I'm pushing on when dawn's a-breakin', goin' 'cross the wide Missouri where my love, she stands a-waitin' 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.
