The Kingston Trio

The Kingston Trio is an American folk and pop music group that helped launch the folk revival of the late 1950s to late 1960s. The group started as a San Francisco Bay Area nightclub act with an original lineup of Dave Guard, Bob Shane, and Nick Reynolds. It rose to international popularity, fueled by unprecedented sales of 33⅓ rpm long-playing record albums (LPs), and helped to alter the direction of popular music in the U.S. more »

My lady love, she stands a'waitin'
Far across the wide Missouri
On the banks I hear her callin' to me

A-roll, a-rollaree
Across the wide Missouri
A-roll, a-rollaree
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-rollaree
Across the wide Missouri
A-roll, a-rollaree
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-rollaree)
A-rollaree
Across the wide Missouri
A-roll (a-rollaree)
A-rollaree
Across the wide Missouri
