Lyrics: Penny - Duncan
Music: Penny - Duncan
I often wish that I could see my old hometown once more.
And the old little 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 frame in 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 get 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.
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.
