Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man

Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man

We get together every time we can

The Mississippi River can't keep us apart

There's too much love in this Mississippi heart

Too much love in this Louisiana heart

We'll see the alligators all a waitin' nearby

Sooner or later, they know I'm gonna try

When she waves 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

Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man

We get together every time we can

The Mississippi River can't 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't 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 gotta get me to the other side

Mississippi man, I'm losin' my mind

Gotta have your loving just one more time

I'm gonna jump in the river and here I go

Too bad, alligator, you swim too slow

Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man

We get together every time we can

The Mississippi River can't keep us apart

There's too much love in this Mississippi heart

Too much love in this Louisiana heart

Yeah, there's too much love in this Mississippi heart

Too much love in this Louisiana heart

Too much love in this Mississippi heart

Too much love in this Louisiana heart

There's too much love in this Mississippi heart

There's too much love
