Mississippi (Single Version) Lyrics


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')
