Mister and Mississippi Songtext
von Tennessee Ernie Ford

I can′t recall my mother
I don't remember dad
Mister and Mississippi
Was all I ever had
Oh, I was born to wonder
I was born to roam
And mister and Mississippi
Made me feel at home
Oh, I was born to wonder
I was born to roam
And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home
(Made him feel at home)
My cradle was the river
My scoolar river bolt
My teacher was a gambler
The slickest one on flot
His teach was a gambler,the slickest one on flot
And he taught me not to gamble on a petty coat
Oh, I was born to wander, I was born to roam
And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home


(Made him feel at home)
Oh,Betty May, I love you
I love you, Betty May
I love you like a baffet boy loves a summer day
The way a wondering gypsy loves the changing scene
Just like the restless river
Love only New Orleans
I was born to wander
I was born to roam
And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home
(Made him feel at home)
I′d love a tiny village
A quiet country town
A house... a little garden...
With kitties running 'round
I'd be a faithful husband
I′d be a trusting friend
Until I heard that steam boat
Come around the bank,(hoo,hoo)
Oh,I was born to wander
I was born to roam
And Mister and Mississippi made be feel at home
(Oh, he was born to wonder)
(He was born to roam)
And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home
(Mister and Mississippi made him feel at home)
