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
|
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, 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 wanderin' gypsy
|
Loves the changing sea
|
Just like the restless river
|
Loves old New Orleans
|
|
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 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
|
