Mister And Mississippi

Mr. And MRS. Sippi - Winifred Atwell

Written by：Irving Gordon

I can't recall my mother

I don't remember dad

Mister and Mississippi

Was all I ever had

Oh I was born to wonder

Oh I was born to Roam

And Mister and Mississippi

Made me feel at home

Oh I was born to wonder

I was born to Roam

And Mister and Mississippi

Made me feel at home

My cradle was the river

My school a river boat

My teacher was a gambler

The slickest one a float

My teacher was a gambler

The slickest one a float

He taught me not to gamble

On a petticoat

Oh I was born to wonder

I was born to Roam

And Mister and Mississippi

Made me feel at home

Oh I was born to wonder

I was born to Roam

And Mister and Mississippi

Made me feel at home

Oh darlin' how I love you

What more is there to say

I love you like a barefoot girl

Loves the summer day

The way a wonderin' gypsy

Loves the changing seas

Just like the restless river

Loves old New Orleans

Oh I was born to wonder

I was born to Roam

And Mister and Mississippi

Made me feel at home

I love a tiny village

A quiet country town

A house a little garden

With kiddies runnin' 'round

You'd be a faithful husband

I'd be a trusty friend

Until I heard that steamboat

Comin' 'round the bend

Oh I was born to wonder

I was born to Roam

And Mister and Mississippi

Made me feel at home

Oh I was born to wonder

I was born to Roam

And Mister and Mississippi

Made me feel at home

And Mister and Mississippi

Made me feel at home
