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