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 riverboat
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 wandering 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 kitties running 'round
You'd be a faithful husband
I′d be a trusting friend
Until I heard that steamboat
Coming ′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
