Mississippi Songtext
Hit it, Hal!Early in the mornin' she hitched a ride down to LouisvilleHoldin' onto a hundred dollar billDressed herself like a Cajun Queen in New Orleans, babyYeah, she looked goo,d like a ladyDo it to me, James!And the Mississippi river runs like molasses in the summertimeAnd me, you know, I don't hardly mindSippin' on a beer in Bourbon Street and I'm sittin' easyDon't get me wrong, it takes a lot to please me[name of piano player]Have a seat, take a load off your feet, and she said "yes"So I said, "whoo, I like your dress"Swamps all around make you feel kinda funny, don't they, honeyShe 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'What you're doin'Down on the bayou, why you never know just what you're doin'Joseph!Early in the mornin', she hitched a ride down to Louisville - LouisvilleHoldin' onto a hundred dollar billDressed herself like a Cajun Queen in New Orleans, babyYeah, she looked good, like a ladyAnd the Mississippi river, it runs like molasses in the summertimeAnd me, you know, I don't hardly mindSippin' on a beer in Bourbon Street and I'm sittin' easyDon'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, "whoo, I like your dress"Swamps all around make you feel kinda funny, don't they, honeyShe 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'What you're doin' ....
