Roly-oly on now, river
   Roly-oly on your way
   Roly-oly on now river
   Wash my cares away
  
   River so wide and so deep
   Wake the sandman from his sleep
   River remind him
   He has a promise to keep
  
   Roll on, mighty river
   Running wild and free
   Get along now, river
   Bring a dream to me
  
   Hey now, river
   Go down, River
   Don't slow down, river
   Bring a dream for me
  
   Roly-oly on now, river
   Roly-oly on your way
   Roly-oly on now river
   Take my troubles away
  
   Robin Hood river, roll on
   Go steal a dream from the dawn
   River, you'll find me
   Where all the dreamers have gone
  
   Roll on, mighty river
   Running wild and free
   Get along now, river
   And bring a dream to me
  
   Hey now, river
   Go down, River
   Don't slow down, river
   Bring that dream for me
