Miss the Mississippi and You - Jimmy Rodgers

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

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

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

Memories are bringing happy days of your

Miss the Mississippi and you

Mockingbirds are singing 'round the cabin door

Miss the Mississippi and you

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
