Miss The Mississippi And You

Verse I'm growing tired of the big city lights Tired of the glamour and tired of the sights In all my dreams I am roaming once more Back to my home on the old river shore Verse I am sad and weary far away from home Miss the Mississippi and you dear Days are dark and dreary everywhere I roam Miss the Mississippi and you Rolling the wide world over Always along and blue, so blue Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven's dome Miss the Mississippi and you Verse 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 Rolling the wide world over Always alone and blue, blue Longing form my homeland, muddy water shore Miss the Mississippi and you Outro Mississippi and you
