(Becki Bluefield - Jim Owen)

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
