Bilingual
I is just what I was
And can't be who I'd be
To love the language
You got to be born
On the banks of the Mississippi
Ax' ya X what talks in tongues
Say, never mo' neither me
To love the language
You got to be born
On the banks of the Mississippi, alright
Stayin' by my mama's in slippers and pajamas
Where there's always somethin' good to eat
Bettin' strawberries, honey and cherries
And pecan-pies, oh, so sweet
With a dew-rag on my brow
Jasmine, wisteria and Fleur-de-lis
To love the language
You got to be born
On the banks of the Mississippi, alright
Yeah, c'mon
Stayin' by my mama's in slippers and pajamas
Where there's always somethin' good to eat
Bettin' strawberries, honey and cherries
And pecan-pies, oh, so sweet
If you won't work for a livin'
And live life leisurely
Pull up a screen pouch
Flop out in a rockin' chair
To love the language
You got to be born
On the banks of the Mississippi, alright
[Incomprehensible] let's go
