I'm growing tired of these big city lights |
|
Tired of the glamor, tired of the sights |
|
In all my dreams I am roaming once more |
|
Back to my home on the old river shore |
|
Lord, I'm sad and weary, far away from home |
|
I miss the Mississippi and you |
|
Dear, days are dark and dreary everywhere I roam |
|
Miss the Mississippi and you |
|
Roaming the wide world over |
|
Always alone and blue, so blue |
|
Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven's dome |
|
Miss the Mississippi and you |
|
Memories are bringing happy days of yore |
|
Miss the Mississippi and you |
|
Mocking birds are singing 'round the cabin door |
|
Miss the Mississippi and you |
|
I keep roaming the old wide world over |
|
Always alone, Lord, I'm blue, so blue |
|
Longing from my homeland, muddy water shore |
|
Miss the Mississippi and you |
