Walking along, whistling a song, bare foot and fancy free
A big riverboat, passing us by, she's headed for New Orleans
There she goes, disappearing around a bend
Roll on Mississippi, you make me feel like a child again
Cool river breeze, like peppermint leaves, the taste of it takes me back
Chewing on a straw, torn overalls, can't hold an old straw hat
Muddy river, just like a long lost friend
Roll on Mississippi, you make me feel like a child again
Roll on Mississippi, big river roll
You're the childhood dream, I grew up on
Roll on Mississippi, carry me home
Now I can see I've been away too long
Roll on, Mississippi, roll on
When the world's spinning round, too fast for me, I need a place to dream
So I come to your banks, I sit in your shade, and relive the memories
Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn
Roll on Mississippi, you make me feel like a child again
Roll on Mississippi, big river roll
You're the childhood dream that I grew up on
Roll on Mississippi, carry me home
Now I can see I've been away too long
Roll on, Mississippi, roll on
Mississippi roll on
Roll on, Mississippi, roll on
Roll on, Mississippi, roll on

They are wrong. It is "Cane Pole and Old Straw Hat", think about it would that make more sense. I found another sight, took awhile, that had it right. Listen to the song.
