Doc Watson Miss the Missippi and You song lyrics

I'm groing tired of the big city lights

Tired of the glamour, tired of the size

I'm alway dreaming of roaming once more

Back to my home on the old river shore

Days are dark and dreary everwhere I roam

How I long for Mississippi and you

Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven's door

How I miss the Mississippi and you

Roaming the wide world over

Always alone and blue, so blue

I am sad and weary, longing to go home

Yes, I miss the Mississippi and you

(break)

Mockingbirds are singing 'round the cabindoor

While I dream of Mississippi and you

And my memories are bringing happy days of yore

I have spent in Mississippi with you

Roaming the wide world over

Always alone and blue, so blue

Longing for my homeland on that muddy watershore

Yes, I miss the Mississippi and you

The Mississippi and you
