Well, I thought I'd go out to Tulsa
|
And ride in a rodeo
|
Red beans and rice sure would be nice
|
Back where the Mississippi River flows
|
|
And it's a long way back to Vicksburg
|
Mississippi River is muddy and wide
|
But it don't seem like much
|
When sweet Louisiana's waitin' on the other side
|
|
Well, there's a lot of room up in Canada
|
Where a man can catch his breath
|
But the men are bold and the women are cold
|
And you damn near freeze to death
|
|
And it's a long way back to Vicksburg
|
Mississippi River is muddy and wide
|
But it don't seem like much
|
When sweet Louisiana's waitin' on the other side
|
|
There's pretty girls in Kansas City
|
And a man can have a ball
|
But the women in Ouachita Parish
|
Drive a young man up the wall
|
|
And it's a long way back to Vicksburg
|
Mississippi River is muddy and wide
|
But it don't seem like much
|
When sweet Louisiana's waitin' on the other side
|
|
Well, I thought I'd go out to Tulsa
|
And ride in a rodeo
|
Red beans and rice sure would be nice
|
Back where the Mississippi River flows
|
|
And it's a long way back to Vicksburg
|
Mississippi River is muddy and wide
|
But it don't seem like much
|
When sweet Louisiana's waitin' on the other side
|
|
'Cause it don't seem like much
|
When sweet Louisiana's waitin' on the other side
|
