Tired of the glamour, tired of the sites

Back to my home on the old river shore

Days are dark and dreary everwhere I roam

How I long for Mississippi and you

Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven's dome

How I miss the Mississippi and you

Always alone and blue, so blue

Mockingbirds are singing 'round the cabin door

The Mississippi and you
