| Lyrics: | ANNA I
So my sister and I left Louisiana
Where the moon on the Mississippi is a-shining
ever,
Like you always hear in the songs of Dixie.
We look forward to our home-coming
—
And the sooner the better.
ANNA II
And the sooner the
better!
ANNA I
It's a month already since we started
For the great big cities
where you go to make money.
In seven years our fortune will be made
And then we can go
back.
ANNA II
In six years would be much nicer.
ANNA I
Our Mom
and Dad and both our brothers wait in old Louisiana
And we'll send them all our money as we make
it,
For all the money's got to go to build a little house
Down by the Mississippi in
Louisiana.
Right, Anna ?
ANNA II
Yes, Anna.
ANNA I
She's the
one with the looks, I'm realistic;
She's just a little mad, my head is on straight.
But
we're really one divided being
Even though you see two of us
And both of us are
Anna,
Together we've but a single past, a single future,
One heart and one savings
account,
And we only do what's best for one another.
Right, Anna ?
ANNA
II
Yes, Anna. |
