My lady love, she stands a-waitin' far across the wide Missouri On the banks I hear her callin' to me

Chorus:
A-roll, a-roll a-ree, across the wide Missouri (Repeat line)

For seven years I've been a-roamin' Seven years I left the valley Now I live just for my true love to see

(Chorus)

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 (Repeat)
