Early in the mornin', she hitched a ride down to Louisville
Di awal pagi, dia naik mobil ke Louisville
Holdin' onto a hundred dollar bill
Holdin ‘ke seratus dolar tagihan
Dressed herself like a Cajun Queen in New Orleans, baby
Mengenakan dirinya seperti Ratu Cajun di New Orleans, sayang
Yeah, she looked good, like a lady
Ya, dia terlihat bagus, seperti wanita

Do it to me, James
Lakukan itu padaku, James
{Dobro: James Burton}
{Dobro: James Burton}

And the Mississippi River runs like molasses in the summertime
Dan Sungai Mississippi mengalir seperti molase di musim panas
And me, you know, I don't hardly mind
Dan saya, Anda tahu, saya tidak keberatan

Sippin' on a beer in Bourbon Street and I'm sittin' easy
Sippin ‘minum bir di Bourbon Street dan aku mudah
Don't get me wrong, it takes a lot to please me
Jangan salah, butuh banyak untuk menyenangkan saya

Have a seat an' take a load off your feet, and she said “Yes”
Suruh duduklah ‘angkat beban dari kakimu, dan dia berkata “Ya”
So I said, “I like your dress”
Jadi saya berkata, “Saya suka gaun Anda”
Swamps all around make ya feel kinda funny, don't they, honey
Rawa-rawa di sekitar membuat kamu merasa agak lucu, bukan begitu, sayang
She crossed her legs and looked at me funny
Dia menyilangkan kakinya dan menatapku lucu

Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doin'
Turun di bayou, mengapa, Anda tidak pernah tahu apa yang Anda lakukan?
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doin' (what you're doin')
Turun di bayou, mengapa, Anda tidak pernah tahu apa yang Anda lakukan ‘(apa yang Anda lakukan)
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doin'
Turun di bayou, mengapa, Anda tidak pernah tahu apa yang Anda lakukan?
Down on the bayou, why, you never know just what you're doin'
Turun di bayou, mengapa, Anda tidak pernah tahu apa yang Anda lakukan?
