MISSISSIPPI WOMAN
WAYLON JENNINGS
A G A E7
The reflections of the trees are cut by the bow of my
A
pirogue
A D E7 A
And spattered by the paddle of my eager hand
A G A E A
That Mississippi Woman is a wavin over yonder
A D E7 A
Wavin her lantern for her Louisiana Man
CHORUS:
G A
How I love that Mississippi Woman
G A
How I love that Mississippi Girl
G A
How I love that Mississippi Woman
G D A G D A D A
But her heart does not belong to me
A G A E7
The lantern light and moonbeams are dancin patterns on the
A
water
A D E7 A
She doesnt seem to realize Ive learned her secret plan
A G A E
My jealous mind is thinkin as I paddle through sleepin
A
alligators
A D E7 A
I cant stand the thought of knowin about her Louisiana Man
Chorus
A G A E7
The reflection of the trees are cut by the bow of my
A
pirogue
A D E7 A
And spattered by the paddle of my shaky hand
A G A E
The silence from behind me is alive with splashin
A
alligators
A D E7 A
And the lantern light is blinkin on the bottom of the sand
Chorus
Chorus
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
