Miss the Mississippi and You

I'm growing tired of these big city lights Tired of the glamor, tired of the sights In all my dreams I am roaming once more Back to my home on the old river shore Lord, I'm sad and weary, far away from home I miss the Mississippi and you Dear, days are dark and dreary everywhere I roam Miss the Mississippi and you Roaming the wide world over Always alone and blue, so blue Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven's dome Miss the Mississippi and you 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 I keep roaming the old wide world over Always alone, Lord, I'm blue, so blue Longing from my homeland, muddy water shore Miss the Mississippi and you
