Swing Where the Leaf Runs Slow

Intro – band hit

Alright now!

One, two—yo-dee-yo!

Verse

I ain’t from the plains or the tumbleweed sky

Jones County gal, live or die

Delta’s got cotton and magnolia trees

I got piney woods, creeks, mud, mosquitoes

Chorus

I’m a Mississippi cowgirl, swingin’ all around

Pushin’ them dogies on Black Belt ground

Might not ride where the dry winds blow

But I yodel just fine where the Leaf runs slow

Yodel Break

Yo-dee-yo—ay-ee-ay

Ho-di-yo—let it sway

Lay-ee-odl-ay—hear me cry

Mississippi swing goin’ way up high

Verse

Swing a lariat, no rodeo show

Cowboy dressage, vaquero slow

Dancin’ my horse, light on the neck

Keepin’ those wanderin’ beeves in check

Chorus – short

Mississippi cowgirl, hat tipped right

From Moselle hills to the Gulf Coast light

If the tune’s got a kick and the night’s alive

Any place on earth’s a place to ride

Final Yodel / Outro

Yo-dee-yo-dee—wah-ho-ay

Spin it up now, let it play

Ay-ee-ay—ho-di-yo

Mississippi cowgirl—go, man, go!
