Merle Haggard — Miss the Mississippi

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] I am sad and weary far away from home Miss the Mississippi and you, dear Days are dark and dreary everywhere I roam Miss the Mississippi and you [Verse] 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 Oh de le-ee oh de le-ee de oh le-ee oh de le-ee Oh le-ee oh de le-ee oh de le-ee [Chorus] Memories are bringing happy days of yore Miss the Mississippi and you, dear Mockingbirds are singing round the cabin door Miss the Mississippi and you [Verse] Rolling the wide world over Always alone and blue, blue Longing for my homeland muddy water shore Miss the Mississippi and you Oh de le-ee oh de le-ee de oh le-ee oh de le-ee Mississippi and you
