Sweet Louisiana

"Sweet Louisiana"
 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
