F (133211@1)Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man,
C (x32010@1)we get together every time we can.
The Mississippi River can't keep us apart,

F (133211@1) C (x32010@1)too much love in this Louisiana heart.
C (x32010@1)See the alligators all a waitin' nearby,
F (133211@1) C (x32010@1)soon or later they know I'm gonna try.
When she waves from the bank, don't you know I know,
F (133211@1) C (x32010@1)it's goodbye fishin' line, see you while ago.
With a Louisiana woman waitin' on the other side,
F (133211@1) C (x32010@1)the Mississippi River don't look so wide.
CHORUS
C (x32010@1)Well, I thought I'd been loved but I never had,
F (133211@1) C (x32010@1)till I was wrapped In the arms of a Mississippi man.
When he holds me close, it feels almost
F (133211@1) C (x32010@1)like another hurricane just a-ripped the coast.
If he can't come to me, I'm a-gonna go to him,
F (133211@1) C (x32010@1)that Mississippi River, Lord, I'm gonna swim.
