Paragraph Lyric
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
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
