[Intro]
I'm growing tired of the big city lights
Tired of the glamour and tired of the sights
In all my dreams, I am roaming once more
Back to my home on the old river shore

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

[Bridge]
Roaming the wide world over
Always alone and blue
Nothing seems to cheer me under Heaven's door
Miss the Mississippi and you

[Mandolin and Fiddle Solos]

[Intro Reprise]
I'm growing tired of the big city lights
Tired of the glamour and tired of the sights
In all my dreams, I am roaming once more
Back to my home on the old river shore
[Verse]
I am sad and weary, far away from home
Miss the Mississippi and you
Days are dark and dreary everywhere I go
Miss the Mississippi and you

[Outro]
Mississippi and you
