Verse 1
the day she arrived.
Her suitcase was battered,
her clothes a little tattered and torn,
Words soon got around
to the boys in town
When she stepped on the stage
G
C
I knew life would ever be quite the same
from Chauvin to Mamoun
in South Louisiana
She took the best room
at the Empire Hotel
They called the Napoleon Suite
among mountains of flowers
When evening came down,
she'd parade through the town
Just a smile and a wave,
G
C
No wonder we called her the queen
from Nainu to Tibidou
on the old Mississippi
Till they gleamed
C
D
like the jewels in her crown
It didn't take long to see
something was wrong
She wrecked all the lives
of the sweethearts and wives
Checked in her keys
Left us to breathe
On the day she left town
A
D
The town simply went back to sleep
From Chauvin to Mamou
G
D
Every town has a story to tell
in South Louisiana
D
G
From Mahmoud to Thibodaux
D
G
D
She captured each parish and town
On the old Mississippi
