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
 See the alligator all a-waitin' nearby
 Sooner or later, they know I'm gonna try
 When she waved from the bank, don't you know I know?
 It's a-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
 '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 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, The 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 lovin' 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 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
 There's too much love in this Mississippi heart
 Too much love in this Louisiana heart
 Hey!
 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
 Hey!
