Текст песни Mister and Mississippi - Patti Page

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
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, how 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 sea
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 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
