Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man,
C majorC
we get together every time we can.
The Mississippi River can’t keep us apart,
FF C majorC
there's too much love in the Mississippi heart,
FF C majorC
too much love in this Louisiana heart.
C majorC
See the alligators all a waitin' nearby,
FF C majorC
soon or later they know I'm gonna try.
When she waves from the bank, don't you know I know,
FF C majorC
it's goodbye fishin' line, see you while ago.
With a Louisiana woman waitin' on the other side,
FF C majorC
the Mississippi River don't look so wide.
CHORUS
C majorC
Well, I thought I'd been loved but I never had,
FF C majorC
till I was wrapped In the arms of a Mississippi man.
When he holds me close, it feels almost
FF C majorC
like another hurricane just a-ripped the coast.
If he can't come to me, I'm a-gonna go to him,
FF C majorC
that Mississippi River, Lord, I'm gonna swim.

Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man,
C majorC

FF C majorC
too much love in this Louisiana heart.
C majorC
Well, the Mississippi River, Lord, it's one mile wide,
FF C majorC
and I’m gonna get me to the other side.
Mississippi man, I'm a-losin' my mind,
FF C majorC
gotta have your loving one more time.
I'm gonna jump in the river and here I go,
FF C majorC
too bad, alligator, you swim too slow !
