roll on a river

Dear all,

What is the meaning of "roll on a river" in the following context:

{PICTURE TINA TURNER ROLLING ON A RIVER}

What I understand her is that she "rolls her body on the river shore or something like that"! Is there any other meaning? If yesm can you kindly provide me a picture of that?

Thanks a lot.

Thanks.

No, just about cruising up and down the river. I meant paddle wheel boats, not a small human-powered paddle boat. My mistake. Like this:

The point was that the picture caption is a reference to the song.
