|
I'm groing tired of the big city lights |
|
Tired of the glamour, tired of the size |
|
I'm alway dreaming of roaming once more |
|
Back to my home on the old river shore |
|
Days are dark and dreary everwhere |
|
I roam How |
|
I long for |
|
Mississippi and you |
|
Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven's door |
|
How I miss the |
|
Mississippi and you |
|
Roaming the wide world over |
|
Always alone and blue, so blue |
|
I am sad and weary, longing to go home |
|
Yes, I miss the |
|
Mississippi and you (break) |
|
Mockingbirds are singing 'round the cabindoor |
|
While I dream of |
|
Mississippi and you |
|
And my memories are bringing happy days of yore |
|
I have spent in |
|
Mississippi with you |
|
Roaming the wide world over |
|
Always alone and blue, so blue |
|
Longing for my homeland on that muddy watershore |
|
Yes, I miss the |
|
Mississippi and you |
|
The Mississippi and you |
