Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man

Hey Louisiana woman, Mississippi man

We get together every time we can

The Mississippi River can keep us apart

There's too much love in this Mississippi heart

Too much love in this Louisiana heart

See the alligators all a waitin' nearby

Soon or later they know I'm gonna try

When she wave from the bank don't you know I know

It's goodbye fishin' line see you while ago

With a Louisiana woman waitin' on the other side

The Mississippi River don't look so wide

Louisiana woman, Mississippi man

We get together every time we can

The Mississippi River can keep us apart

There's too much love in this Mississippi heart

Too much love in this Louisiana heart

Well I thought I'd been loved but I never had

Till I was wrapped in the arms of a Mississippi man

When he holds me close it feels almost

Like another hurricane just ripped the coast

If he can't come to me, I'm gonna go to him

That Mississippi River Lord, I'm gonna swim

Hey Louisiana woman, Mississippi man

We get together every time we can

The Mississippi River can keep us apart

There's too much love in this Mississippi heart

Too much love in this Louisiana heart

Well Mississippi River Lord it's one mile wide

And I'm gonna get me to the other side

Mississippi man, I'm losin' my mind

Gotta have your loving one more time

I'm gonna jump in the river and here go

Too bad alligator you swim too slow

Hey Louisiana woman, Mississippi man

We get together every time we can

The Mississippi River can keep us apart

There's too much love in this Mississippi heart

Too much love in this Louisiana heart

There's too much love in this Mississippi heart

Too much love in this Louisiana heart

There's too much love in this Mississippi heart

Too much love in this Louisiana heart

There's too much love in this Mississippi heart

Too much love in this Louisiana heart
