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 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)
