as recorded by tennessee ernie ford:

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, oh, 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, oh, i was born to roam
and mister and mississippi made me feel at home.

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, oh, i was born to roam
and mister and mississippi made me feel at home.

i’d love a tiny village, a quite country town
a house, a little garden, with kiddies runnin’ ’round
i’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, oh, i was born to roam
and mister and mississippi made me feel at home.

recording by mel priddle – january 2005)

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
