miss the mississippi and you
I'm growing tired of the big city lights Tired of the glamor, tired of the size I'm always dreaming of roaming once more Back to my home on the old river shore  Days are dark and dreary everywhere 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  Mockingbirds are singing 'round the cabin door 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 water shore Yes, I miss the Mississippi and you The Mississippi and you
