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
