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)there's too much love in the Mississippi heart,

F (133211@1)       C (x32010@1)too much love in this Louisiana heart.

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,
