Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man

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

Too much love in this Louisiana heart

See the alligator all a waitin' nearby 
                    F#            C#
Soon or later they know I'm gonna try

When she wave from the bank don't you know I know
                            F#             C#
It's a goodbye fishin' line see you while ago

Pausa:

With a Louisiana woman waitin' 

On the other side

The Mississippi River

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 ripped the coast

If he can't come to me I'm gonna go to him
                                  F#     C#
That Mississippi River, Lord, I'm gonna swim

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 losin' my mind 
                       F#        C#
Gotta have your loving one more time

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

Too bad alligatior you swim too slow
