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

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, I was born to wander

I was born to roam

And Mister and Mississippi

Made me feel at home

Oh, Darling, now I love you

What more is there to say

I love you like a barefoot girl

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

I was born to roam

And Mister and Mississippi

Made me feel at home

I'd love a tiny village

A quiet country town

A house, a little garden

With kiddies running 'round

You'd be a faithful husband

I'd be a trusting 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

And Mister and Mississippi

Made me feel at home
