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
Soon or later
They know I'm gonna try

When she waved
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 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 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

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
