MISSISSIPPI MONSOON
Written by Steve Stapley & Lynda Hayes

Every year when the rains came down
And the levees were swellin’ from the rivers all around
Every night you could hear the sound
Of the rainfall comin’ on drummin' on the ground

There was water, water everywhere from Shreveport down to Point au Fer
Muddy water and a silver moon shinin' through the Mississippi Monsoon

John Landry loved Anne Marie
But her daddy and Johnny just didn't agree
He didn't want his little baby runnin' free
From the lovin' arms of the family

Ooh Mississippi Monsoon, Louisiana under water
Woah Mississippi Monsoon, washin’ the night away

Anne Marie ran free with John,
But the water kept rising till the land was gone
John Landry knelt down to pray,
As the bridge on the bayou got swept away

Ooh Mississippi Monsoon, Louisiana under water
Woah Mississippi Monsoon, washing the night away

Soon they were swimmin' in the flooded creek
Till their legs grew weary and their arms got weak
Anne Marie was the last to speak, she said, "Johnny I love you"

Woah There was water, water everywhere from Shreveport down to Point au Fer
Muddy water and a silver moon shinin' through the Mississippi Monsoon

There was water, water everywhere from Shreveport down to Point au Fer
Muddy water and a silver moon shinin' through the Mississippi Monsoon

Ooh Mississippi Monsoon, Louisiana under water
Woah Mississippi Monsoon, washing the night away
