Miss The Mississippi And You Lyrics - Merle Haggard

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 

Roamin' the wide world over 

Always alone and blue, so blue 

Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven's dome 

Miss the Mississippi and you
