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

[Verse]
    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

    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]
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
