Miss The Mississippi And You

I'm growing tired of the big city lights
Tired of the glamour and tired of the nights
And 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 miss the Mississippi and you
And my memories are yearning happy days of yore
I have spent in New York City with you

Roaming the wide world over
Always alone and blue, so blue
I am sad and weary, for that muddy water-shore
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 yearning them happy days of yore
I have spent in Mississippi with you

Roaming the wide world over
Always alone and blue, so blue
I am sad and weary, for that muddy water-shore
How I miss the Mississippi and you
The Mississippi and you
