Cool, I'd not known it but there's an old song called "Miss the Mississippi". Here are the lyrics, think I'll dl it off iTunes tonight!
ORIGINAL LYRICS, transcribed by Manfred Helfert:
I'm growing tired of the big city's lights,Tired of the glamor, and tired of the sights.In all my dreams I am roaming once moreBack to my home on the old river shore.
I am sad an' weary, far away from home;Miss the Mississippi an' you.Yeah -- days are dark and drearyEv'rywhere I roam;Miss the Mississippi an' you.
Rolling the wide world over,Always alone and blue -- blue.Nothing seems to cheer meUnder heaven's dome;Miss the Mississippi an' you.
[YODEL]
Memories are bringingHappy days of yore;Miss the Mississippi an' you.Mockingbirds are singing'Round the cabin door; Miss the Mississippi an' you.
Rolling the wide world over,Always alone and blue -- so blue.Longing for my homeland,Muddy water shore;Miss the Mississippi an' you.
[YODEL]Mississippi -- and -- you...
