Miss The Mississippi And You
Written by Bill Halley and Jimmie Rodgers
Sung by Emmylou Harris


C           Am           F        D7
I'm growing tired of the big city lights
G7                       C
Tired of the glamour and tired of the sights
F                     Am           Dm
In all my dreams I am roaming once more
D7                     G7
Back to my home on the old river shore

C            C7    F             Fm
I am sad and weary far away from home
C             G7         C    G7
Miss the Mississippi and you  dear
C                 C7     F            Fm
Days are dark and dreary everywhere I roam
C             G7         C   C7
Miss the Mississippi and you

F                      C
Rolling the wide world over
Am     D7        G       G7
Always alone and blue so blue
C                C7       F              Fm
Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven's dome
C             G7         C   C7
Miss the Mississippi and you

   F                       C
Ou de le-ee ou de le-ee de ou le-ee ou de le-ee
               G7          C
Ou le-ee ou de le-ee ou de le-ee

             C7       F             Fm
Memories are bringing happy days of your
C             G7         C    G7
Miss the Mississippi and you  dear
C                C7      F               Fm
Mockingbirds are singing round the cabin door
C             G7         C   C7
Miss the Mississippi and you

F                      C
Rolling the wide world over
Am     D7        G    G7
Always alone and blue blue
C              C7       F           Fm
Longing for my homeland muddy water shore
C             G7         C
Miss the Mississippi and you

   F                       C
Ou de le-ee ou de le-ee de ou le-ee ou de le-ee
            G7  C
Mississippi and you
