MISTER AND MISSISSIPPI
Recorded by Tennessee Ernie Ford
Writen by Irving Gordon
C Am F G
I can't recall my Mother, I don't remember Dad
C Am F G
Mister and Mississippi was all I ever had
Am C G F
Oh, I was born to wander, oh, I was born to roam
C Am G C
And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home.
CHORUS
Am C G F
Oh, I was born to wander, oh, I was born to roam
C Am G C
And Mister and Mississippi made me feel at home.
C Am F G
My cradle was the river, my school a river boat
C Am F G
My teacher was a gambler, the slickest one afloat
Am C G F
His teacher was a gambler, the slickest one afloat
C Am G C
He taught me not to gamble on a petticoat.
CHORUS
C Am F G
Oh! Betty Mae, I love you, I love you Betty Mae
C Am F G
I love you like a barefoot boy, loves a summer day
Am C G F
The way a wand'ring gypsy, loves the changing scenes
C Am G C
Just like the restless river, loves old New Orleans.
CHORUS
C Am F G
I'd love a tiny village, a quite country town
C Am F G
A house, a little garden, with kiddies runnin' 'round
Am C G F
I'd be a faithful husband, I'd be a trusting friend
C Am G C
Until I heard that steamboat, comin' 'round the bend.
