Chorus:
F#
Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
C#
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
F# C#
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
Verse:
C#
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
Break:
C#
With a Louisiana woman waitin’
On the other side
The Mississippi River
F# C#
Don’t look so wide
Chorus:
F#
Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
C#
We get together every time we can
The Mississippi River can’t keep us apart
F# C#
There’s too much love in the Mississippi heart
F# C#
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
Verse:
C#
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
Chorus:
F#
Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
C#
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
F# C#
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
Verse:
C#
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
F# C#
Too bad alligatior you swim too slow
Chorus:
F#
Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
C#
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
F# C#
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
F# C#
But there’s too much love in this Mississippi heart
F# C#
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
F# C#
Heeeeeeey, hey
F# C#
There’s too much love in this Mississippi heart
F# C#
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
F# C#
There’s too much love in this Mississippi heart
F# C#
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
