across the wide missouri / the kingston trio

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.


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-roll a-ree,
across the wide missouri.

a-roll, a-roll a-ree,
across the wide missouri.
