Sweet Louisiana (Live)
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
But it's a long way back to Vicksburg
And 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 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
And Mississippi River is muddy and wide
But it don't seem like much when sweet
Louisiana's waitin' on the other side
Oh, take 'em down to Louisiana
I remember what my daddy told me
When I said I was gonna go
"If you ever come back to Mississippi
Well I'm gonna say I told you so"
And it's a long way back to Vicksburg
And 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
And 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
Them red beans and rice sure would be nice
Back where the Mississippi River flows
And it's a long way back to Vicksburg
And Mississippi River is muddy and wide
But now it don't seem like much when sweet
Louisiana's waitin' on the other side
Well Lord, it don't seem like much when sweet
Louisiana's waitin' on the other side
Oh Lord, it don't seem like much when sweet
Louisiana's waitin' on the other side
Thank y'all
And ride in a rodeo
Red beans and rice sure would be nice
Back where the Mississippi River flows
But it's a long way back to Vicksburg
And 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 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
And Mississippi River is muddy and wide
But it don't seem like much when sweet
Louisiana's waitin' on the other side
Oh, take 'em down to Louisiana
I remember what my daddy told me
When I said I was gonna go
"If you ever come back to Mississippi
Well I'm gonna say I told you so"
And it's a long way back to Vicksburg
And 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
And 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
Them red beans and rice sure would be nice
Back where the Mississippi River flows
And it's a long way back to Vicksburg
And Mississippi River is muddy and wide
But now it don't seem like much when sweet
Louisiana's waitin' on the other side
Well Lord, it don't seem like much when sweet
Louisiana's waitin' on the other side
Oh Lord, it don't seem like much when sweet
Louisiana's waitin' on the other side
Thank y'all
