Paroles de Mister and mississippi

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...

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...
Oh i was born to wander...

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...
