Miss the Mississippi - Crystal Gayle
I'm growing tired of the big city’s lights
Tired of the glamor and tired of the sights
In all my dreams I'm roaming once more
Down to my home on the old river shore
I am sad and weary
Far away from home
Miss the Mississippi and you
Days are dark and dreary
Everywhere I roam
Miss the Mississippi and you
Rolling the wide world over
Always alone and blue, blue
Nothing seems to cheer me
Under heaven's dome
Miss the Mississippi and you
(Yodel)
Memories are bringing
Happy days of yore
Miss the Mississippi and you
Mockingbirds are ringing around the cabin door
Miss the Mississippi and you
Rolling the whole world over
Always alone and blue, so blue
Longing for my homeland
Muddy water shore
Miss the Mississippi and you
