Lyrics:

I'm growing tired of this big cities' lights
Tired of the glamour, and tired of the sights
In all my dreams I'm roaming once moreBack to my home on the old river shore

I am sad and weary
Far away from home
Miss the Mississippi and you
Days are dark and dreary
Everywhere I roam
Miss the Mississippi and you

Roaming the wide world over
Always alone and blue, so blue
Nothing seems to cheer me
Under heaven's dome
Miss the Mississippi, and you

Yodelee ooo lei,Yodelee ooo lei
Yodelee ooo lei,ooooo

Memories are bringing
Happy days of your
Miss the Mississippi and you
Mockingbirds are singing
'Round the cabin door
Miss the Mississippi and you

Roaming the wide world over
Always alone and blue, so blue
Longing for my homeland
Muddy water shore
Miss the Mississippi, and you
Yodelee ooo lei,Yodelee ooo lei
Mississippi, and you
