Mississippi Woman Song Lyrics-Waylon Jennings


The reflections of the trees are cut by the bow of my pirogue

Spattered by the paddle of my eager hand

That Mississippi woman is a wavin’ over yonder

Wavin’ her lantern to her Louisiana man

How I love that Mississippi woman

How I love that Mississippi girl

How I love that Mississippi woman

But her heart did not belong to me

The reflections of the trees are cut by the bow of my pirogue

Splattered by the paddle of my eager hand

The silence from behind me is alive with the splashing alligators

And the lantern light is blinking on the bottom in the sand


How I love that Mississippi woman

How I love that Mississippi girl

How I love that Mississippi woman

But her heart did not belong to me
