• Mister And Mississippi

I can't recall my mother, I don't remember dad
Mister and Mississippi was all I ever had

Oh, I was born to wander, I was born to roam
And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home

My cradle was the river, my school a river boat
My teacher was a gambler, the slickest one afloat
His teacher was a gambler, the slickest one afloat
And he taught me not to gamble on a petticoat

Oh, I was born to wander, I was born to roam
And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home

Oh, Betty may I love you, I love you Betty may
I love you like a barefoot boy loves the summer day
The way a wanderin' gypsy loves the changing sea
Just like the restless river loves old New Orleans

Oh, I was born to wander, I was born to roam
And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home

I love a tiny village, a quiet country town
A house, a little garden with kiddies runnin' 'round
I'd be a faithful husband, I'd be a trusty friend
Until I heard that steamboat comin' 'round the bend

Oh, I was born to wander, I was born to roam
And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home
Oh, He was born to wander, he was born to roam
And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home
