Miss The Mississippi

I'm growing tired of these big city lights Tired of the glamor and tired of the sights In all my dreams I am roaming once more Back to my home on the old river shore I am sad and weary far away from home Miss the Mississippi and you dear Nights are dark and dreary everywhere I roam Miss the Mississippi and you Roaming this wide world over Always alone and blue blue Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven's dome Miss the Mississippi and you Memories are bringing happy days of yore Missing Mississippi and you Mocking birds are singing around the cabin door Missing Mississippi and you Roaming this wide world over Always alone and blue so blue Longing for my homeland muddy water shore Miss the Mississippi and you
