Mississippi Lyrics
Hit it, Hal {Drums: Hal Blaine}
Early 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 lady
Do it to me, James {Dobro: James Burton}
And the
Mississippi River runs like molasses in the summertime And me, you know, I
don't hardly mind
Sippin' on a beer in Bourbon Street and I'm sittin'
easy Don't get me wrong, it takes a lot to please me
Have 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 funny
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') 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 lady
And the Mississippi River, it runs like
molasses in the summertime And me, you know, I don't hardly
mind
Sippin' on a beer in Bourbon Street and I'm sittin' easy Don't
get me wrong, it takes a lot to please me
Everybody sing
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'
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
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') 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') Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're
doin' {fade}
