Misissipi Woman chords by Conway Twitty

Tuning: Standard





F

Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man,

C

we get together every time we can.

The Mississippi River can't keep us apart,

F              C

there's too much love in the Mississippi heart,

F         C

too much love in this Louisiana heart.



C

See the alligators all a waitin' nearby,

F            C

soon or later they know I'm gonna try.



When she waves from the bank, don't you know I know,

F             C

it's goodbye fishin' line, see you while ago.



With a Louisiana woman waitin' on the other side,

F       C

the Mississippi River don't look so wide.

CHORUS



C
 Well, I thought I'd been loved but I never had,

F           C

till I was wrapped In the arms of a Mississippi man.



When he holds me close, it feels almost

F           C

like another hurricane just a-ripped the coast.



If he can't come to me, I'm a-gonna go to him,

F       C

that Mississippi River, Lord, I'm gonna swim.





F

Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man,

C

we get together every time we can.



The Mississippi River can't keep us apart.

F             C

there's too much love in this Mississippi heart,

F          C

too much love in this Louisiana heart.



C

Well, the Mississippi River, Lord, it's one mile wide,

F       C

and I'm gonna get me to the other side.



Mississippi man, I'm a-losin' my mind,

F         C

gotta have your loving one more time.



I'm gonna jump in the river and here I go,

F         C

too bad, alligator, you swim too slow !



CHORUS

F             C

There's too much love in this Mississippi heart,

F        C             ~ ~

too much love in this Louisiana heart, hey!

F           C

There's too much love in this Mississippi heart,

F         C

too much love in this Louisiana heart  .
