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
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 I go 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'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 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 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
