Lyrics
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..
