F5

Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man,

 C5

we get together every time we can.

 

The Mississippi River can?t keep us apart,

                             F5              C5

there's too much love in the Mississippi heart,

                       F5         C5

too much love in this Louisiana heart.

 

      C5

 See the alligators all a waitin' nearby,

                          F5            C5

    soon or later they know I'm gonna try.

 

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

                               F5             C5

    it's goodbye fishin' line, see you while ago.

 

    With a Louisiana woman waitin' on the other side,

                                 F5       C5

    the Mississippi River don't look so wide.

 
 CHORUS

 

             C5
 Well, I thought I'd been loved but I never had,

                                        F5           C5

    till I was wrapped In the arms of a Mississippi man.

 

    When he holds me close, it feels almost 

                                   F5           C5

    like another hurricane just a-ripped the coast.

 

    If he can't come to me, I'm a-gonna go to him ,

                                     F5       C5

    that Mississippi River, Lord, I'm gonna swim.
