Mister And Mississippi

Mister And Mississippi - Eddy Arnold

Written by：Irving Gordon/Ed./Arr./Adpt

I can't recall my mother I don't remember dad

Mister and mississippi was all I ever had

Oh I was born to wander oh 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

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

Oh betty mae I love you I love you betty mae

I love you like a barefoot boy loves a summer day

The way a wand'ring gypsy loves the changing scenes

Just like the 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
