I Don't Want To Miss Mississippi

Jack Teagarden

I don't want to miss Mississippi anymore
I don't want to miss Mississippi by the shore
I wanna go there, I wanna go where
life was heavenly before

I don't wanna dream
about the river I adore
I don't wanna dream
dreams don't help me anymore
I've got a shack there
I'm going back there
Where the 'sippi meets the shore

Say, I'm homesick, got the blues
Call it anything you choose
But this yearning 'bout returning
is something I can't lose

I don't want to miss Mississippi anymore
I don't want to miss
all the folks I'm longing for
I'm tired of roamin', I long for homin'
Mississippi by the shore
