Mississippi (John Phillips)

Hit it, HalEarly in the mornin', she hitched a ride down to Louisville

Holdin' onto a hundred dollar bill

Dressed herself like a Cajun Queen in New Orleans, baby

Yeah, she looked good, like a ladyDo it to me, JamesAnd the Mississippi River runs like molasses in the summertime

And me, you know, I don't hardly mindSippin' on a beer in Bourbon Street and I'm sittin' easy

Don't get me wrong, it takes a lot to please meHave a seat an' take a load off your feet, and she said "Yes"

So I said, "I like your dress"

Swamps all around make ya feel kinda funny, don't they, honey

She crossed her legs and looked at me funnyDown on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doin'

Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doin' (what you're doin')

Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doin'

Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doin'Joseph

{Bass: Joe Osborn}Early in the mornin', she hitched a ride down to Louisville (Louisville)

Holdin' onto a hundred dollar bill

Dressed herself like a Cajun Queen in New Orleans, baby

Yeah, she looked good, like a ladyAnd the Mississippi River, it runs like molasses in the summertime

And me, you know, I don't hardly mindSippin' on a beer in Bourbon Street and I'm sittin' easy

Don't get me wrong, it takes a lot to please meEverybody singDown on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doin'

Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doin'Have a seat, take a load off your feet, and she said "Yes"

So I said, "I like your dress"

Swamps all around make ya feel kinda funny, don't they, honey

She crossed her legs and looked at me funny[Repeat until fade]

Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doin'

Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doin' (what you're doin')
