Subject: Miss the Mississippi and you From: Jeep man Date: 29 Feb 00 - 02:19 PM This I believe was an old Jimmie Rodgers song. Lots of people have done it, Merle Haggard did it on an albun tribute to Jimmie Rodgers. Jim |
Subject: Lyr Add: MISS THE MISSISSIPPI AND YOU^^ From: Peg Date: 29 Feb 00 - 02:45 PM Don't know the chords; here are most of the lyrics:
I'm gettin tired of the big city life
I am sad and weary, longing to go home
Mockingbirds are singing 'round my cabin door
Roaming this wide world over
I'm longing for my homeland, my muddy water shore

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Miss the Mississippi and You From: Fortunato Date: 02 Mar 00 - 03:17 PM JEEPSTER. I WAS HOPING SOMEONE WOULD COME UP WITH THEM FOR YOU. I SEARCHED THE WEB TO NO AVAIL. BUT I HAVE THE ROBIN AND LINDA WILLIAMS RECORDING AT HOME. I SKETCHED AN ARRANGEMENT OF IT ONCE FOR THE GUITAR BUT NEVER PLAYED IT SO I'VE FORGOTTEN IT. SORT OF A TIN PAN ALLEY TUNE TYPICAL OF 1935 OR SO. A COUPLE OF PASSING CHORDS AS I REMEMBER, A DIMINISHED (AUGMENTED?) AND AN ODD MINOR (FROM A FOLKIE POINT OF VIEW), BUT I'LL GIVE IT A LISTEN IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND TRY TO GET THEM TO YOU. I'M PACKING TO MOVE SO I COULD BE DELAYED. REFRESH THIS THREAD TO REMIND ME. REGARDS FORTUNATO |
Subject: Miss the Mississippi and you From: jeepman (inactive) Date: 04 Feb 01 - 11:10 AM This is one of Jimmie Rodgers old songs and I love it. It was also recorded by Merle Haggerd on his"Same Train Different Track??" album. I really would like to have the chords to this Jeepman |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Miss the Mississippi and you From: wysiwyg Date: 04 Feb 01 - 12:44 PM Jeepers, do you already have the words? And what key do you want to do it in? ~S~ |

Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Miss the Mississippi and you From: wysiwyg Date: 04 Feb 01 - 02:48 PM OK, don't answer me. *G* I have this on a Doc Watson LP I think, but the turntable motor is bad. I ain't hooking it up and digging up the LP unless you can't get the lyrics! ~S~ |

(Eb)I'm growing (C7)tired of the (Fm)big city's lights,
(Eb) I am sad and (Eb7) weary
Memories are bringing happy days of yore, Jimmie Rodgers did pick songs that took twists and turns, but they were good songs and have a lasting quality. This is a prime example. |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Miss the Mississippi and you From: jeepman (inactive) Date: 04 Feb 01 - 04:09 PM WYSIWYG. Arkie has sent the chords but I prefer to pick in D or E. Can you do it in one of these. Thanks to both of you. Jman |
Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Miss the Mississippi and you From: Plume Date: 04 Feb 01 - 04:14 PM Thanks for this. I've loved this song ever since I heard on a Hotmud Family record lo these many years ago. What fun to sit at my computer and finally be able to sing it for myself. |
