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'
