this song is old but my parents like it so have fun with that ha.
standard tuning.
F
Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man,
C
we get together every time we can.
The Mississippi River can’t keep us apart,
F C
there's too much love in the Mississippi heart,
F C
too much love in this Louisiana heart.
C
See the alligators all a waitin' nearby,
F C
soon or later they know I'm gonna try.
When she waves from the bank, don't you know I know,
F C
it's goodbye fishin' line, see you while ago.
With a Louisiana woman waitin' on the other side,
F C
the Mississippi River don't look so wide.
CHORUS
C
Well, I thought I'd been loved but I never had,
F C
till I was wrapped In the arms of a Mississippi man.
When he holds me close, it feels almost
F C
like another hurricane just a-ripped the coast.
If he can't come to me, I'm a-gonna go to him,
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/c/conway_twitty/misissipi_woman_crd.html ]
F C
that Mississippi River, Lord, I'm gonna swim.
F
Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man,
C
we get together every time we can.
The Mississippi River can’t keep us apart.
F C
there's too much love in this Mississippi heart,
F C
too much love in this Louisiana heart.
C
Well, the Mississippi River, Lord, it's one mile wide,
F C
and I’m gonna get me to the other side.
Mississippi man, I'm a-losin' my mind,
F C
gotta have your loving one more time.
I'm gonna jump in the river and here I go,
F C
too bad, alligator, you swim too slow !
