Farmer I'm just a farmer
That never was quite good enough for you
Dreamer you were a dreamer
But I've been known to dream a little too
About when the oceans touch Missouri
The Mississippi is the sea
Ships are anchored on the Kansas City Line
And you're sailing home to me
Sailor he was a sailor
He told you bout the things you'd never seen
Baby he took my baby
Now the only time I see you is when I dream
About when the oceans touch Missouri...
About when the oceans touch Missouri...
That never was quite good enough for you
Dreamer you were a dreamer
But I've been known to dream a little too
About when the oceans touch Missouri
The Mississippi is the sea
Ships are anchored on the Kansas City Line
And you're sailing home to me
Sailor he was a sailor
He told you bout the things you'd never seen
Baby he took my baby
Now the only time I see you is when I dream
About when the oceans touch Missouri...
About when the oceans touch Missouri...
