Sweet Louisiana Lyrics

Well I thought Id go out to Tulsa
And ride in a rodeo
Red beans and rice sure would be nice
Back where the Mississippi River flowsAnd it's a long way back to Vicksburg
Mississippi River is muddy and wide
But it don't seem like much
When sweet Louisiana's waitin on the other sideWell there's a lot of room up in Canada
Where a man catch his breath
But the men are bold and the women are cold
And you damn near freeze to deathAnd it's a long way back to Vicksburg
Mississippi River is muddy and wide
But it don't seem like much
When sweet Louisiana's waitin on the other sideTheres pretty girls in Kansas City
And a man can have a ball
But the women in Ouachita Parish
Drive a young man up the wallAnd it's a long way back to Vicksburg
Mississippi River is muddy and wide
But it don't seem like much

When sweet Louisiana's waitin on the other sideWell I thought Id go out to Tulsa
And ride in a rodeo
Red beans and rice sure would be nice
Back where the Mississippi River flowsAnd it's a long way back to Vicksburg
Mississippi River is muddy and wide
But it don't seem like much
When sweet Louisiana's waitin on the other side'Cause it don't seem like much
When sweet Louisiana's waitin on the other side
