Down in Louisiana they play some funky blues
Making music like nobody else
Back beat rhythms and some 12-bar grooves
I like to pick on some of that myself
Mississippi blues got the laid-back temp
Bottle necking finger picking sounds really sweet
But down on the bayou their playing swamp music
Makes you get up on the dance floor and stomp your feet
N'orleans players getting down with the groove
If you're born in LA then you're a Creole.
Playing funky music is the thing that they do
Cause they kind of like the way it makes them Feel
Mississippi blues got the laid-back temp
Bottle necking finger picking sounds really sweet
But down on the bayou their playing swamp music
Makes you get up on the dance floor and stomp your feet
Lighting Slim got the rhythm and blues
Muddy Water's got the beat
When Slim and Muddy get their mojo working
Everybody feels the heat
Mississippi blues got the laid-back temp
Bottle necking finger picking sounds really sweet
But down on the bayou their playing swamp music
Makes you get up on the dance floor and stomp your feet
Mississippi blues got the laid-back temp
Bottle necking finger picking sounds really sweet
But down on the bayou their playing swamp music
Makes you get up on the dance floor and stomp your feet
