Solid fas', I come to tell you HURRAH, MY ROLLING RIVER "Solid fas'," our captain cry out WE ARE BOUND AWAY FROM THIS WORLD OF MISERY
Nobody knows about our toilin' Only God Almighty knows about our danger
"Whale ahead," my little gunman cry out "Solid fas'," my little captain answer
And on our way, she roll and shiver Down in our way, she spout dirty water
"Make her so bold," my strokeman cry out "Haul and gi' me," my centerman cry out
Nobody knows about our hardship Our shipowner, she don't know our hardship
Misery into the ocean Misery in the deep wide ocean

I guess the locals heard "Misery" and not Missouri.
