Early in the morning...

[jswordy]

...she hitched a ride down to Louisville
Holding onto a hundred dollar bill
Dressed herself like a Cajun Queen in New Orleans, baby
Yeah, she looked good, like a lady

[redqueen]

1. risin' to the street

Light me up that cigarette and I strap shoes on my feet
Got to find a reason a reason things went wrong
Got to find a reason why my money's all gone

[kick-ass-bob]

2. that's what I thought of....

:thumbsup:

[RagingInMiami]

3. Yes, that's the song I was thinking of

4. Sigh...

MISSISSIPPI
(Lyrics : John Phillips)
John Phillips - 1970


Hit it, Hal
{Drums: Hal Blaine}

Early in the morning, she hitched a ride down to Louisville
Holding 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

Sipping on a beer in Bourbon Street and I'm sitting 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 you feel kind of 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 doing
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing (what you're doing)
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing (2x)

{Bass: Joe Osborn}

Early in the morning, she hitched a ride down to Louisville (Louisville)
Holding 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

Sipping on a beer in Bourbon Street and I'm sitting 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 doing (2x)

Have a seat, take a load off your feet, and she said ´Yes´
So I said, ´I like your dress
Swamps all around make you feel kind of 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 doing
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing (what you're doing)
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing (what you're doing)
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doing
