The Lyrics

One day in Vicksburg a boy drew a losin' number
I lost my name in a card game on the Mississippi River
I was partners with the sun, runnin' guns across the border
Bought a ticket on a river queen, Played a fable
Placed my chips upon the table

And there's a man in the corner shufflin' cards with all his might
My head is spinnin' from the ladies of the night

I followed that game along the rivers of Louisiana
There I bought a banjo Played that tune in June of '61

And he's in love, with the ladies
He's in love with the ladies

Ladies take your man, teach him what you can
Show him how to win the war
Medals rust, soldiers bite the dust
While waiting ladies keep the score

And he's in love, with the ladies
He's in love with the ladies

So in love, with the ladies
He's in love with the ladies

Dixieland Lady name of Shawn, loves her man with her whole heart

Dixieland band man, fiddle on
Put it down 'til the dawn
