Lyrics

I'm growing tired of the big city lights,
Tired of the glamour, and tired of the sights.
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,
Yes, I miss the Mississippi and you.
Nothing seems to cheer me,
Under Heaven’s dome,
Yes, I miss the Mississippi and you.
Rolling 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.

Mockingbirds are singing ‘round the cabin door
As I dream of Mississippi, and you.
And those memories are bringing
Those happy days of yore,
I have spend in Mississippi with you.
Roaming the whole world over
always alone and blue, so blue.
I am sad and weary
Longing to go home
Yes, I miss the Mississippi, and you.
The Mississippi and you.
