Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
We get together every time we can
See the alligators all a waitin' nearby
It's goodbye fishin' line, see you while ago
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
If he can't come to me I'm gonna go to him
Well, I thought I'd been loved but I never had
There's too much love in the Mississippi heart
Too bad alligator you swim too slow
Mississippi man, I'm losin' my mind
The Mississippi River can keep us apart
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
That Mississippi River Lord I'm gonna swim
There's too much love in the Mississippi heart
Like another hurricane just ripped the coast
Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
There's too much love in the Mississippi heart
The Mississippi River can keep us apart
We get together every time we can
We get together every time we can
When she waves from the bank don't you know I know
When he holds me close it feels almost
There's too much love in the Mississippi heart
With a Louisiana woman waitin' on the other side
There's too much love in the Mississippi heart
Till I was wrapped in the arms of a Mississippi man
Sooner or later they know I'm gonna try
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
The Mississippi River don't look so wide
There's too much love in the Mississippi heart
There's too much love in the Mississippi heart
I'm gonna jump in the river and here I go
And I'm gotta get me to the other side
Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
Well, Mississippi River, Lord, it's one mile wide
Gotta have your lovin' one more time
The Mississippi River can keep us apart
The Mississippi River can keep us apart
