Mister And Mississippi

written by：i. gordon

i don't recall my mother

i don't remember dad

mister and mississippi is all i ever had

oh i was born to wander

i was born to roam

and mister and mississippi made me feel at home

oh i was born to wander

i was born to roam

and mister and mississippi made me feel at home

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 afloat

my teacher was a gambler

the slickest one afloat

he taught me not to gamble on a petticoat

oh i was born to wander

i was born to roam

and mister and mississippi made me feel at home

i was born to wander

i was born to roam

mister and mississippi made me feel at home

oh darlin' may i love you

i love you betty mae

i love you like a barefoot boy

loves a summer day

the way a wanderin' gypsy

loves the changing sea

just like that restless river

loves old new orleans

oh i was born to wander

i was born to roam

and mister and mississippi made me feel at home

mister and mississippi made me feel at home

mister and mississippi made me feel at home
