Eddy Arnold - Missouri lyrics

(Jimmy Duncan - Penny) I often wish that I could see My old hometown once more The old red school I went to With the little girl next door. I see that stopper bobbin' When the catfish start to bite I see a blue sky framin' Little clouds of snowy white. Missouri, I hear you callin' me Missouri, you'll never let me be Missouri I know I can't be free My heart will yearn till I return, Missouri's callin' me. In memory, I still can see That oak tree on the lawn And hear again the birds as sing And woke me at the dawn. And I remember mornings When I told my mother lies So I could have a second helping Of her apple pies. Missouri I hear you callin' me Missouri, you'll never let me be Missouri I know I can't be free My heart will yearn till I return, Missouri's callin' me...
