[Verse]
I'm growing tired on the big city lights
Tired of the glamour 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
[Chorus]
Miss the Mississippi and you
Days are dark and dreary
Everywhere I go
Miss the Mississippi and you
[Bridge]
Roaming the wide world over
Always along and blue
Nothing seems to cheer me
Under Heaven's door
Miss the Mississippi and you
[Verse]
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Mississippi and you
