Miss the Mississippi and You

[Verse 1] I'm growing tired of the big city lights Tired of the glamor and tired of the sights In all my dreams I am roaming once more Back to my home on that old river shore [Verse 2] I am sad and weary far away from home Miss the Mississippi and you, dear Days are dark and dreary and everywhere I roam Miss the Mississippi and you [Chorus] Roaming the wide world over Always alone and blue, so blue Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven's dome Miss the Mississippi and you Oh-del-lay-ee-oh-del-lay-ee Dee-oh-lay-ee-oh-del-lay-ee Oh-del-lay-ee-oh-del-lay-ee-oh-del-ee-del-lay-ee [Bridge] Memories are bringing happy days of your Miss the Mississippi and you Mockingbirds are singing 'round the cabin door Miss the Mississippi and you [Chorus] Roaming the wide world over Always alone and blue, so blue Longing for my homeland, muddy water shore Miss the Mississippi and you Oh-del-lay-ee-oh-del-lay-ee Dee-oh-lay-ee-oh-del-lay-ee Mississippi and you
