[A] [A] Well I thought I'd go out to Tulsa and ride in a [E] [A] rodeo.
My red beans and rye show would be nice, like when the Mississippi River [D] flows.
And it's a long way back to Pittsburgh.
Mississippi River is [A] muddy and wide.
[E] But it don't seem like much when [D] you're sweeping Louisiana's way to North [A] Dakota's side.
Well there's a lot of room up in Canada where a man can catch his breath.
But the men are bold and the women are cold when you're down near Friesdale.
[D] And it's a long way back to Pittsburgh.
Mississippi River is [A] muddy and wide.
[E] But it don't seem like much when [D] you're sweeping Louisiana's [E] way to North Dakota's side.

[A] I remember what my daddy told me when I said I was gonna go.
If you ever come back, let this little jacks-o'-lantern say a toad [E] for sure.
And it's a long way back to [D] Pittsburgh.
[E] Mississippi River is muddy [A] and wide.
But [E] it don't seem like much when [D] you're sweeping Louisiana's way to North Dakota's [A] side.

There's pretty girls in Kansas City and a man can have [E] them all.
[A] But the women they want to talk Paris to drive a young man up [D] the wall.
And it's a long way back to Pittsburgh.
Mississippi River is muddy [A] and wide.
But [E] it don't seem like much when [D] you're sweeping Louisiana's way [E] to North Dakota's side.

[A] I thought I'd go out to town slowly riding a rodeo.
But red beans and rice sure would be nice back where the Mississippi [F#m] River flows.
[D] And it's a long way back to Pittsburgh.
Mississippi [E] River is muddy and [A] wide.
[E] But it don't seem like much when [D] you're sweeping Louisiana's way to North [A] Dakota's side.
[E] Don't seem like much when you're [D] sweeping Louisiana's way to North Dakota's [A] side.

[E] Sweep [D]
Louisiana's way to [A] North Dakota's side.
