Mister and Mississippi Eddy Arnold

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

He taught me not to gamble
On a petticoat
My teacher was a gambler
The slickest one afloat

Oh, I was born to wander
Oh, I was born to roam
And Mister and Mississippi
Made me feel at home...
