lyrics
Oh, my sweet Missouri
Why do I love you so
The newspapers tell of worry
And I cannot stand for the snow
The flowers in their beds may not perk up in spring
My friends may not pause at the songs that I sing
So I’m gonna write you a poem I swear
My love’s like a red red rose
Oh, my sweet Missouri
How can I hold you close
The clocks all stop for worry
With their hands they were froze
Took an overnight train to a plane to a train
Took a roundabout way to say i’m insane
But i’m gonna leave you a poem I swear
Though we were ten thousand miles
Oh, my sweet Missouri
Your ashes are in the urn
Fallow your fields in a hurry
And your cities are left to burn
Oh, my sweet Missouri
Why do I love you so
Newspapers all tell of worry
And I cannot stand for the snow
Oooh - oooh
Oooh
Why do I love you so
The newspapers tell of worry
And I cannot stand for the snow
The flowers in their beds may not perk up in spring
My friends may not pause at the songs that I sing
So I’m gonna write you a poem I swear
My love’s like a red red rose
Oh, my sweet Missouri
How can I hold you close
The clocks all stop for worry
With their hands they were froze
Took an overnight train to a plane to a train
Took a roundabout way to say i’m insane
But i’m gonna leave you a poem I swear
Though we were ten thousand miles
Oh, my sweet Missouri
Your ashes are in the urn
Fallow your fields in a hurry
And your cities are left to burn
Oh, my sweet Missouri
Why do I love you so
Newspapers all tell of worry
And I cannot stand for the snow
Oooh - oooh
Oooh
