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 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 --- Sweet Louisiana - Charlie Daniels and The Charlie Daniels Band
