Lyrics
Rolling down the river, feelin like a giver
Never felt so good good in my life
Memphis to New Orleans in the fur trappers life
Sweet Memphis lady, black lace and satin
Never been in my life, in my life
Gonna fetch you Rosie
Gonna make you crazy
Crazy enough to be my wife
We'll go down the river,
Rowing so slowly
We'll have the time of our life
Promise we'll have good times
Promise we'll be lovers for the rest of our lives
