Hit it Hal
Early in the morning she hitched a ride down to Louisville
Holdin on to 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
And the Mississippi River runs like molasses in the summertime
And me, you know, I don't hardly mind
Sippin' on a beer on Bourbon Street and I'm sittin' easy
Don't get me wrong, it takes a lot to please me
Have a seat and 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'
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

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

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