[Verse]
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 that old river shore

[Chorus]
I am sad and weary far away from home
Miss the Mississippi and you, dear
Days are dark and dreary and 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

[Bridge]
That old Mississsippi
Now that old saxophone
[Verse]
Rolling the wide world over
Always alone and blue, so blue
Nothing seems to cheer mе under heaven's domе
Miss the Mississippi and you
[Outro]
Oh-de-lay-oh lay-ee-oh-ee
Mississippi and you
