lyrics

Well my baby ain't pretty but he sure acts sweet
He puts the food on the table, shoes on my feet and you know
I ain't lettin' him go
Oh, oh, oh, cuz he's nice to me, the cutest thing this side of the Mississippi
Well you know

Well he don't act smart and he don't act tough
The only time he's ever mad is when he's had bad luck and you know
I ain't lettin him go
Oh, oh, oh, cuz he's nice to me, the cutest thing this side of the Mississippi
Well you know

Well I met him on a train. I was headed down south.
He had a hat upon his head, a cigarette in his mouth and you know
how the story goes
He said "Hi, well it's nice to meet the cutest thing this side of the Mississippi"
Well you know

Well I don't love him for his looks and I don't love him for his money
I love it when he's serious and when he's acting funny, you know
Cuz he's nice to me, the cutest thing this side of the Mississippi
Well you know
Oh, oh, oh, well he's nice to me, the cutest thing this side of the Mississippi
Well you know
Oh, oh, oh, well he's nice to me, the cutest thing this side of the Mississippi
Well you know
