letra de mister and mississippi - tennessee ernie ford
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.

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

just like the restless river
loves old new orleans
oh, i was born to wander
i was born to roam

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
