Marianne Faithfull - Prologue (in Album The Seven Deadly Sins) 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.
