Thread Name: Lyr/Chords Req: Miss the Mississippi and You
Subject: Lyr Add: MISS THE MISSISSIPPI AND YOU^^
Don't know the chords; here are most of the lyrics:

I'm gettin tired of the big city life
tired of the glamour tired of the sights
in all my dreams I am roaming once more
down by the banks of my old river shore

I am sad and weary, longing to go home
How I miss the Mississippi and you, dear
Things look sad and gloomy everywhere I roam
And I miss the Mississippi and you.

Mockingbirds are singing 'round my cabin door
How they miss the Mississippi and you
Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven's dome
I miss the Mississippi and you

Roaming this wide world over
Always alone and blue, so blue

I'm longing for my homeland, my muddy water shore
I miss the Mississippi and you...
