Lyrics Merle Haggard

Merle Haggard

Miss The Mississippi And You

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 the old river shore.

I am sad and weary far away from home

Miss the Mississippi and you you

Days are dark and dreary everywhere I roam

Miss the Mississippi and you.

Rolling the wide world over

Always alone and blue so blue

Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven's dome

Miss the Mississippi and you.

Ou de le-ee ou de le-ee de ou le-ee ou de le-ee

Ou le-ee ou de le-ee ou de le-ee.

Memories are bringing happy days of your

Miss the mississippi and you you

Mockingbirds're singing round the cabin door

Miss the Mississippi and you.

Rolling the wide world over

Always alone and blue blue

Longing for my homeland muddy water shore

Miss the Mississippi and you.

Ou de le-ee ou de le-ee de ou le-ee ou de le-ee

Mississippi and you...
