Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man

(Becki Bluefield - Jim Owen)



Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man

We get together every time we can

The Mississippi River can keep us apart

There's too much love in the Mississippi heart

Too much love in this Louisiana heart.



See the alligators all a waitin' nearby

Sooner or later they know I'm gonna try

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

It's goodbye fishin' line, see you while ago

With a Louisiana woman waitin' on the other side

The Mississippi River don't look so wide.



Louisiana woman, Mississippi man

We get together every time we can

The Mississippi River can keep us apart

There's too much love in the Mississippi heart

Too much love in this Louisiana heart.



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

Till I was wrapped In the arms of a Mississippi man

When he holds me close it feels almost

Like another hurricane just ripped the coast

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

That Mississippi River Lord I'm gonna swim.



Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man

We get together every time we can

The Mississippi River can keep us apart

There's too much love in the Mississippi heart

Too much love in this Louisiana heart.



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

And I'm gotta get me to the other side

Mississippi man, I'm losin' my mind

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.



Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man

We get together every time we can

The Mississippi River can keep us apart

There's too much love in the Mississippi heart

Too much love in this Louisiana heart.



There's too much love in the Mississippi heart.

Too much love in this Louisiana heart



Heae...



There's too much love in the Mississippi heart

Too much love in this Louisiana heart.



There's too much love in the Mississippi heart

Too much love in this Louisiana heart...
