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
We'll 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 ago
With a Louisiana woman waitin' on the other side The Mississippi River don't look so wide
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, 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 gotta get me to the other side Mississippi man, I'm losin' my mind Gotta have your loving just 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
Yeah, there's too much love in this Mississippi heart Too much love in this Louisiana heart
Too much love in this Mississippi heart Too much love in this Louisiana heart There's too much love in this Mississippi heart
There's too much love
