Subject: Lyric request : I Miss the Mississippi From: blarson@luminet.net Date: 22 Oct 96 - 10:21 AM This is my first posting - excuse me if I am not doing this correctly. Heard a song on A Prairie Home Companion that I would like to find words and music for. The nain refrain went: " I Miss the Mississippi and You..." I believe this is also the title. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |

Subject: RE: Lyric request : I Miss the Mississippi From: Peg Date: 12 Aug 01 - 02:42 AM I have heard slightly different lyrics from both Doc Watson and Laurie Lewis... for example, in the first verse "In all my dreams I am roaming once more, down by the banks of my old river shore..." |

Subject: RE: Lyric request : I Miss the Mississippi From: Genie Date: 21 Jun 02 - 06:44 PM George S., Can you redo that blicky? Also, though Jimmie Rodgers seems to be the main singer associated with this song, was Bill Halley the author? And what was the original copyright date? |

Subject: RE: Lyric request : I Miss the Mississippi From: Bullfrog Jones Date: 22 Jun 02 - 06:46 AM He was definitely Halley, but not sure of his first name. I've got some sheet music copyrighted 1932. BJ |

Subject: RE: Lyric request : I Miss the Mississippi From: GUEST,MCP Date: 22 Jun 02 - 09:22 AM Bill Halley is the author, but he may also be known as William H Heagney. It puzzled me at first when I did a search of the ASCAP copyright database at Copyright Database Searches for Miss The Mississippi and it came up with William H Heagney as author. However if you do a search for Halley as author, you get the same songs listed under the name Heagney (which I guess may have been his given name). I mention this because at least one recording lists Heagney as author (although most give Halley). Heagney/Halley was also responsible for (amongst other things) Maria Elena. Mick |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I Miss the Mississippi From: GUEST,Linda Date: 18 Oct 10 - 08:11 PM The song was written by my grandfather - the confusion over Halley and Heagney had something to do with copywriting - not sure of what that was - his real name was Willian Henry Heagney - I have come to hear this song a lot - Arlo Guthrie sounds most like my grandfather |
