Hey! Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
We get together everytime 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
See the alligator 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 ya 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 everytime 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
Til 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 a gonna go to him
That Mississippi River, Lord I'm gonna swim
Hey! Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
We get together everytime 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 the Mississippi River Lord its one mile wide
And I’m gonna get me to the other side
Mississippi man I'm a losin' my mind
Gotta have your lovin' a one more time
I'm gonna jump in the river and a here I go
Too bad alligator you swim too slow
Hey! Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
We get together everytime 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
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
