I'm growin' tired of these big city nights
Tired of the glamour and tired of the sights
In all my dreams i am roamin' once more
Back to my home on the old river's shore.

I am sad and weary, far away from home
Miss the Mississippi and you, dear
Nights are dark and dreary, everywhere i roam
Miss the Mississippi and you.

Rollin' this wide world over
Always alone and blue, blue
Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven's dome
Miss the Mississippi and you.

Memories are bringin' happy days of yore
Missing Mississippi and you
Mocking birds are singin' around the cabin door
Missing Mississippi and you.

Rollin' this wide world over
Always alone and blue, so blue
Longin' for my homeland, muddy water shore
Miss the Mississippi and you.
