Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man Lyrics

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 the Mississippi heart
Too much love in this Louisiana heartSee 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.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 the Mississippi heart
Too much love in this Louisiana heartWell, 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 gonna go to him

That Mississippi River Lord I'm gonna swimLouisiana woman, Mississippi man
We get together every time we can
The Mississippi River can't keep us apart
There's too much love in the Mississippi heart
Too much love in this Louisiana heartWell, 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 one more time
I'm gonna jump in the river and here I go
Too bad alligator you swim too slowHey, 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 the Mississippi heart
Too much love in this Louisiana heartThere's too much love in the Mississippi heart
Too much love in this Louisiana heartHey, ooh
There's too much love in the Mississippi heart
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
