Having sung Natchez since 1962, as have many others, I probably can't reprogram my brain.... but since it sounds a LOT like 'Netches', I will cheerfully tell anyone who asks that "it is close enough, and was probably just a matter of someone mis-hearing it way back when". So far, everyone just likes the song.... and I once watched at a sing in the mid-60s as a guy made a play for the attention of a girl- singing several 'meaningful' songs for/at her.... he finally got her with "Brazos" and they left together.
