The Reflection of the Trees
A wave in her lantern for her Louisiana man
How I love that Mississippi woman
How I love that Mississippi girl
How I love that Mississippi woman
But her heart does not belong to me
The lantern light and moonbeams
Are dancing patterns on the water
She doesn't seem to realize
I've learned her secret plan
My jealous mind is a-thinking
As I paddle through the sleeping alligators
I can't stand a thought annoying about her Louisiana man
How I love that Mississippi woman
How I love that Mississippi girl
How I love that Mississippi woman
But her heart does not belong to me
The Reflection of the Trees
Are cut by the bow of my pharaoh
And splattered by the paddle of my shaky hand
The silence from behind me
Is alive with 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 does not belong to me
