Mississippi Ripples 1922

I was born along the Mississippi
and no matter where I chance to roam,
mem'ry takes me back once more
to that Mississippi shore
and the place I call my Home Sweet Home.

Mississippi, rippling,
on your way
Mississippi
I miss you more each day
in my dreaming
stars are gleaming
On you beaming
Mississippi ripples,
ripple on forever
Mississippi ripples,
ripple on.

Mississippi, rippling,
on your way
Mississippi
I miss you more each day
in my dreaming
stars are gleaming
On you beaming
Mississippi ripples,
ripple on forever
Mississippi ripples,
ripple on.

When it's moonlight on the Mississippi
childhood dreams come drifting back to me,
and it seems I'm kneeling there
just to say my evening prayer
as in days gone by at mother's knee.

Mississippi, rippling,
on your way
Mississippi
I miss you more each day
in my dreaming
stars are gleaming
On you beaming
Mississippi ripples,
ripple on forever
Mississippi ripples,
ripple on.

Mississippi, rippling,
on your way
Mississippi
I miss you more each day
in my dreaming
stars are gleaming
On you beaming
Mississippi ripples,
ripple on forever
Mississippi ripples,
ripple on.
