Hey, Louisiana woman
Mississippi man
We get together
Every time we canThe Mississippi River
Can't keep us apart
There's too much love
In this Mississippi heart
Too much love
In this Louisiana heartSee the alligators
All a waitin' nearby
Soon or later
They know I'm gonna tryWhen she waved
From the bank
Don't you know I know
It's goodbye fishin' line
See you while I goWith a Louisiana woman
Waitin' on the other side
The Mississippi River
Don't look so wideLouisiana woman

Every time we canThe Mississippi River
Can't keep us apart
There's too much love
In this Mississippi heart
Too much love
In this Louisiana heartWell, I thought
I'd been loved but I never had
Till I was wrapped
In the arms of a Mississippi manWhen he holds me close
It feels almost
Like another hurricane
Just ripped the coastIf he can't come to me
I'm gonna go to him
That Mississippi River
