Hit it, Hal
{Drums: Hal Blaine

Early in the mornin`, she hitched a ride down to Louisville
Holdin` onto a hundred dollar bill
Dressed herself like a Cajun Queen in New Orleans, baby
Yeah, she looked good, like a lady

Do it to me, James
{Dobro: James Burton

And the Mississippi River runs like molasses in the summertime
And me, you know, I don`t hardly mind

Sippin` on a beer in Bourbon Street and I`m sittin` easy
Don`t get me wrong, it takes a lot to please me

Have a seat an` take a load off your feet, and she said "Yes"
So I said, "I like your dress"
Swamps all around make ya feel kinda funny, don`t they, honey
She crossed her legs and looked at me funny

Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you`re doin`
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you`re doin` (what you`re doin`)
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you`re doin`
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you`re doin`

Joseph
{Bass: Joe Osborn

Early in the mornin`, she hitched a ride down to Louisville (Louisville)
Holdin` onto a hundred dollar bill
Dressed herself like a Cajun Queen in New Orleans, baby
Yeah, she looked good, like a lady

And the Mississippi River, it runs like molasses in the summertime
And me, you know, I don`t hardly mind

Sippin` on a beer in Bourbon Street and I`m sittin` easy
Don`t get me wrong, it takes a lot to please me

Everybody sing

Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you`re doin`
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you`re doin`

Have a seat, take a load off your feet, and she said "Yes"
So I said, "I like your dress"
Swamps all around make ya feel kinda funny, don`t they, honey
She crossed her legs and looked at me funny

Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you`re doin`
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you`re doin` (what you`re doin`)
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you`re doin`
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you`re doin` (what you`re doin`)
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you`re doin`
