Lyrics:

Across the Wide Missouri
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.

I'm pushing off 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.
