Hey, Lousiana woman, Mississippi man
We get together every time we van
The Mississippi River can keep us apart
There´s too much love in this Mississippi heart
There´s too much love in this Lousiana heart

Conway :
See the alligator 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 Lousiana woman waitin´ on the other side
The Mississippi River don´t look so wide

Lousiana woman, Mississippi man
We get together every time we van
The Mississippi River can keep us apart
There´s too much love in this Mississippi heart
There´s too much love in this Lousiana heart

Loretta :
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

Lousiana woman, Mississippi man
We get together every time we van
The Mississippi River can keep us apart
There´s too much love in this Mississippi heart
There´s too much love in this Lousiana heart

Conway :
Well, that Mississippi River, Lord, it´s one mile wild
And I´m gonna get me to the other side
Loretta :
Mississippi man, I´m losin´ my mind
Gotta have jour lovin´ one more time
Conway :
I´m gonna jump in the river and here I go
Too bad alligator, you swim too slow

Lousiana woman, Mississippi man
We get together every time we van
The Mississippi River can keep us apart
There´s too much love in this Mississippi heart
There´s too much love in this Lousiana heart
