| 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 |
| 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 afloat |
| My teacher was a gambler |
| The slickest one afloat |
| He taught me not to gamble on a petticoat |
| Oh, I was born to wander |
| I was born to roam |
| And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home |
| Oh, darlin’how I love you |
| What more is there to say |
| I love you like a barefoot girl |
| Loves the summer day |
| The way a wanderin’gypsy |
| Loves the changing sea |
| Just like the restless river |
| Loves old New Orleans |
| I love a tiny village |
| A quiet country town |
| A house, a little garden |
| With kiddies runnin''round |
| You’d be a faithful husband |
| I’d be a trusty 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 |
| Oh, I was born to wander |
| I was born to roam |
| And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home |
