Miss the Mississippi and You

(Bill Halley)



I'm growing tired of the big city lights

Tired of the glamor 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, you

Days are dark and dreary everywhere I roam

Miss the Mississippi and you.



Rolling the wide world over

Always alone and blue

Nothin' seems to cheer me under heaven's dome

Miss the Mississippi and you.

I'm growing tired of the big city lights

Tired of the glamor tired of the sights

In all my dreams I am roaming once more

Back to my home on the old river shore.



Mhm, mhm, mhm, mhm

Mississippi and you...
