(Ervin Drake - Jimmy Shirl)
My lady love she stands a waitin' far across the wide Missouri
On the banks I hear her calling to me
A ro a ro la lee across wide Missouri
A ro a ro la lee across wide Missouri.
For seven years I've been a roamin' seven years I led the valley
Now I live just for my true love to see
A ro a ro la lee across wide Missouri
A ro a ro la lee across wide Missouri.
I'm pushin' off when dawn is breaking goin' cross the wide Missouri
Where my love she stands a waitin' for me
A ro a ro la lee across wide Missouri
A ro a ro la lee across wide Missouri. (a ro la lee)...
