Mister and Mississippi |
I can’t recall my mother |
I don’t remember dad |
Mister and Mississippi was all I ever had |
Oh! |
I was born to wander |
Oh! |
I was born to roam |
And Mister and Mississippi |
Made me feel at home. |
Oh! |
I was born to wander |
I was born to roam |
And Mister and Mississippi |
Made me feel at home. |
My cradle was the river |
My school a river boat |
My teacher was a gambler |
The slickest one a float |
My teacher was a gambler |
The slickest one a float |
He taught me not to gamble |
On a petti coat. |
Oh! |
I was born to wander |
I was born to roam |
And Mister and Mississippi |
Made me feel at home. |
Oh! |
Darling, how I love you |
What more is there to say |
I love you like a barefoot boy |
Loves a summer day |
The way a wand’ring gypsy |
Loves the changing scenes |
Just like the restless river |
Loves old New Orleans. |
Oh! |
I was born to wander |
I was born to roam |
And Mister and Mississippi |
Made me feel at home. |
I’d love a tiny village |
A quiet country town |
A house, a little garden |
With kiddies running 'round |
You’d be a faithful husband |
I’d be a trusting friend |
Until I heard that steamboat |
Comin' 'round the bend. |
Oh! |
I was born to wander |
I was born to roam |
And Mister and Mississippi |
Made me feel at home. |
