About

Fun classic late 60s song about traveling down a canadian river.

Lyrics

Intro

Oh oh

Rollin' rollin'

Mm mm

Verse 1

Big wood paddles hittin' gray water

See the morning mud churning up a storm

Cedar trees standing tall like soldiers

Waitin' for the midday heat to come

Yellow sun burning through the valley haze

Wishing I could drift here for forty days

Chorus

Oh carry me down the Fraser

Keep that big board steady on the line

Rolling past the canyon and the mountain peak

Leaving all my heavy world behind

Yeah we’re rollin'

Keep on rollin'

Verse 2

Rusted docks leaning toward the current

Old man fishing with a broken reel

Bank is moving faster than a freight train

Knowing how the freedom’s supposed to feel

Tangled brush lining up the sandy shore

Never want to see the city lights no more

Chorus

Oh carry me down the Fraser

Keep that big board steady on the line

Rolling past the canyon and the mountain peak

Leaving all my heavy world behind

Yeah we’re rollin'

Keep on rollin'

Bridge

Hurry up

Hurry up

Don't be slow

Let the big river flow

Take it easy

Take it deep

Where the restless spirits sleep

Chorus

Oh carry me down the Fraser

Keep that big board steady on the line

Rolling past the canyon and the mountain peak

Leaving all my heavy world behind

Yeah we’re rollin'

Keep on rollin'

Post-Chorus

Rollin' down the river

(Rollin' rollin')

Board is gonna quiver

(Rollin' rollin')

Yeah yeah rollin'

Chorus

Oh carry me down the Fraser

Keep that big board steady on the line

Rolling past the canyon and the mountain peak

Leaving all my heavy world behind

Yeah we’re rollin'

Keep on rollin'
