"Miss The Mississippi and You" by Bill Halley is on Emmylou Harris' "Roses In The Snow Album", also, on Sid Selvidge, "Cold of the Morning" album. The music is a bit different on each rendition - both are good. Following are the words as Sid sings them:
MISS THE MISSISSIPPI AND YOU
(intro)
I'm growing tired of the big city life
Tired of the glamor, tired of the strife
I'm always dreaming of roaming once more
Back to my home on the old river shore
(verse)
Days are dark and dreary everywhere I roam
I long for Mississippi and you
Nothing seems to cheer me, under heaven's dome
I miss the Mississippi and you
(bridge)
Roaming the wide world over
Always alone and blue
I am sad and weary, longing to go home
I miss the Mississippi and you
(verse)
Mocking birds are singing 'round the cabin door
While I dream of Mississippi and you
And my memories are bringing me happy days of yore
I have spent in Mississippi with you
(ending)
Searching for my home on that muddy water shore
Yes, I long for Mississippi and you
Tne Mississippi...and ....you. (like a yodel)
