MISS THE MISSISSIPPI AND YOU
(Written by Bill Haley)
Emmylou Harris


I'm growing tired on
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
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

Roaming the wide
world over
Always along and
blue
Nothing seems to cheer me
under heaven's door
Miss the Mississippi
and you

I'm growing tired on
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
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
