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. |
