	Lyrics Way up north where the cold winds blow The snow falls down on Ontario For ages and ages it's all been melting down Filling up the valleys and the canyons around There's a lake we call Ataska Water filled her to the shore Something had to give she couldn't hold anymore Like a mother to her daughter she said it's time to set you free I'm gonna let you go now, don't stop until you find the sea Roll on big river Roll on big river Roll on big river to the sea She started out reckless--she was young, you know Didn't have any fears just didn't know where to go She just kept on pushing onward, sometimes rushing sometimes slow All the way down to the Gulf Of Mexico Roll on..... Now the years have brought their changes She's hemmed in on every side With bridges and highways and fences And all those city lights She used to be a wild thing Now she feels the strain Of the factories pumping chemicals in her Like a needle in some junkies vein But the day is gonna come You know it's just around the bend When she's not gonna take anymore And her waters gonna rise again Roll On, Big River Roll On, Big River Roll On, Big River To the sea. Roll On
