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 the 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 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
Louisiana woman Mississippi man...
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...
Well Mississippi River Lord it`s one mile wide and I gotta 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 alligatior you swim too slow
Hey Louisiana woman Mississippi man...
There`s too much love in the Mississippi heart too much love in this Louisiana heart
There`s too much love in the Mississippi heart too much love in this Louisiana heart
