Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man

[Chorus: Conway Twitty, Loretta Lynn, Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn]
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
Sooner or later, they know I'm gonna try
When she waved from the bank, don't you know I know?
It's a-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: Conway Twitty, Loretta Lynn, Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn]
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
'Til 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: Conway Twitty, Loretta Lynn, Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn]
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 & Loretta Lynn]
Well, The Mississippi River, Lord, it's one mile wide
And I'm gotta get me to the other side
Mississippi man, I'm a-losin' my mind
Gotta have your lovin' one more time
I'm gonna jump in the river, and a-here I go
Too bad, alligator, you swim too slow

[Chorus: Conway Twitty, Loretta Lynn, Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn]
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
A-there's too much love in this Mississippi heart
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
Hey

[Outro: Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn]
A-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
