Mississippi Woman Lyrics

MISSISSIPPI WOMAN
WAYLON JENNINGS
The reflections of the trees are cut by the bow of my
pirogue
And spattered by the paddle of my eager hand
That Mississippi Woman is a wavin over yonder
Wavin her lantern for her Louisiana Man
CHORUS:
How I love that Mississippi Woman
How I love that Mississippi Girl
How I love that Mississippi Woman
But her heart does not belong to me
The lantern light and moonbeams are dancin patterns on the
water
She doesnt seem to realize Ive learned her secret plan
My jealous mind is thinkin as I paddle through sleepin
alligators
I cant stand the thought of knowin about her Louisiana Man
The reflection of the trees are cut by the bow of my
pirogue
And spattered by the paddle of my shaky hand
The silence from behind me is alive with splashin
alligators
And the lantern light is blinkin on the bottom of the sand
How I love that Mississippi Woman
How I love that Mississippi Girl
Im gonna miss that Mississippi Woman
Though her heart did not belong to me
