patti page – mister and mississippi lyrics
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
my teacher was a gambler
the slickest one afloat
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, darlin’ how i love you
what more is there to say
i love you like a barefoot girl
loves the summer day
the way a wanderin’ gypsy
loves the changing sea
just like the restless river
loves old new orleans
i love a tiny village
a quiet country town
a house, a little garden
with kiddies runnin’ ’round
you’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, i was born to wander
i was born to roam
and mister and mississippi made me feel at home
