I can't recall my motherI don't remember dadMister and Mississippi was all I ever hadOh! I was born to wanderOh! I was born to roamAnd Mister and MississippiMade me feel at home.Oh! I was born to wanderI was born to roamAnd Mister and MississippiMade me feel at home.My cradle was the riverMy school a river boatMy teacher was a gamblerThe slickest one a floatMy teacher was a gamblerThe slickest one a floatHe taught me not to gambleOn a petti coat.Oh! I was born to wanderI was born to roamAnd Mister and MississippiMade me feel at home.Letras de cancionesOh! Darling, how I love youWhat more is there to sayI love you like a barefoot boy Loves a summer dayThe way a wand'ring gypsyLoves the changing scenesJust like the restless riverLoves old New Orleans.Oh! I was born to wanderI was born to roamAnd Mister and MississippiMade me feel at home.I'd love a tiny villageA quiet country townA house, a little gardenWith kiddies running 'roundYou'd be a faithful husbandI'd be a trusting friendUntil I heard that steamboatComin' 'round the bend.Oh! I was born to wanderI was born to roamAnd Mister and MississippiMade me feel at home. From Letras Mania
