Lyrics Mississippi - John Phillips
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'
