Lousiana Woman, Mississippi Man lyrics

[Chorus]

Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man

We get together every time we can

The Mississippi River can't keep us apart

There's too much love in this Mississippi heart

Too much love in this Louisiana heart

[Verse 1: Conway Twitty]

See the alligator all a-waitin' nearby

Soon or later, they know I'm gonna try

When she waved from the bank, don't you know I know?

It's goodbye, fishin' line, see you while I go

With a Louisiana woman waitin' on the other side

The Mississippi River don't look so wide

[Chorus]

Louisiana woman, Mississippi man

We get together every time we can

The Mississippi River can't keep us apart

There's too much love in this Mississippi heart

Too much love in this Louisiana heart

[Verse 2: Loretta Lynn]

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 a-gonna go to him

That Mississippi River, Lord, I'm gonna swim

[Chorus]

Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man

We get together every time we can

The Mississippi River can't keep us apart

There's too much love in this Mississippi heart

Too much love in this Louisiana heart

[Verse 3: Conway Twitty]

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

And I'm gotta get me to the other side

[Loretta Lynn]

Mississippi man, I'm losin' my mind

Gotta have your lovin' one more time

[Conway Twitty]

I'm gonna jump in the river, and a-here I go

Too bad, alligator, you swim too slow

[Chorus]

Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man

We get together every time we can

The Mississippi River can't keep us apart

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

Too much love in this Louisiana heart

There's too much love in this Mississippi heart

Too much love in this Louisiana heart

Hey!

[Outro]

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

Too much love in this Louisiana heart

Hey!
