Mister And Mississippi lyrics

Song information

Artist: Eddy Arnold
Album: Have Guitar Will Travel

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 oh I was born to roam
And mister and mississippi made me feel at home

Oh I was born to wander..

My cradle was the river my school a river boat
My teacher was a gambler the slickest one afloat
He taught me not to gamble on a petticoat

My teacher was a gambler..
Oh I was born to wander..

Oh betty mae I love you I love you betty mae
I love you like a barefoot boy loves a summer day
The way a wand'ring gypsy loves the changing scenes
Just like the restless river loves old new orleans

Oh I was born to wander..
