Lyrics
I can see a cabin by the river
Where the weeping willows sigh and quiver
I see someone roaming in the gloaming
Someone I love
I can see the candle light a-burning
In the window as of yore
In my heart I yearn, once more to return
To that Mississippi shore
Soft winds whisper
Come back to the Mississippi shore
Where when the shades of night are falling
Every loving heart to you is calling
Come back, come back
Come back to the Mississippi
Where forevermore upon its shore
You’ll find the love you’re longing for
I can see a cabin by the river
Where the weeping willows sigh and quiver
I see someone roaming in the gloaming
Someone I love
I can see the candle light a-burning
In the window as of yore
Seems where e’re I go, I hear sweet and low
Come back to the Mississippi shore
