Lyrics Jean Shepard

Jean Shepard

Roll Muddy River

Roll muddy river, roll on muddy river, roll on

I've got a notion you'll go to the ocean alone

I've got a baby in Tennessee

Who's long been a waitin' for little ole me

So roll muddy river, roll on muddy river, roll on.

New Orleans on to ole St. Louis

Stopped in Memphis, Minneapolis too

Back in Nashville I'll be through

So roll muddy river, roll on.

Roll muddy river, roll on muddy river, roll on

I've got a notion you'll go to the ocean alone

I've got a baby in Tennessee

Who's long been a waitin' for little ole me

So roll muddy river, roll on muddy river, roll on.

I love you but just call it fate

You and I are gonna separate

You'll be here but he won't wait

So roll muddy river, roll on.

Roll muddy river, roll on muddy river, roll on

I've got a notion you'll go to the ocean alone

I've got a baby in Tennessee

Who's long been a waitin' for little ole me

So roll muddy river, roll on muddy river, roll on.

Roll muddy river, roll on muddy river, roll on...
