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
