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
