The hit-streak kick-started what would become one of the most successful duos of country history. For four consecutive years (1972–1975), Lynn and Twitty were named the "Vocal Duo of the Year" by the Country Music Association. In addition to their five Number 1 singles, they had seven other Top 10 hits between 1976 and 1981.
Louisiana Woman Mississippi Man
Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'll 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
See the alligator all a-waitin' nearby
Sooner or later they know I'm gonna try
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
Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
We'll 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
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 a-ripped the coast
If he can't come to me I'ma gonna go to him
That Mississippi River, Lord, I'm gonna swim
Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
We'll 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
Well, the Mississippi River, Lord, it's one mile wide
And I'm gonna get me to the other side
Mississippi man, I'm 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
Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
We'll 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
Ah, there's too much love in this Mississippi heart
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
Hey
Ah, there's too much love in this Mississippi heart
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
Ah, there's too much love in this Mississippi heart
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
Hey

Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
Let's get together whenever possible
We'll get together every time we can
We won't let the Mississippi River keep us apart
The Mississippi River can't keep us apart
Our love is too strong to be hindered by a physical barrier
There's too much love in this Mississippi heart
We are passionate about each other beyond measure
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
Our love for each other is incredibly strong
See the alligator all a-waitin' nearby
We are aware of the danger in our pursuit of love
Sooner or later they know I'm gonna try
The alligators know we will not be deterred from being together
When she wave from the bank don't you know I know
We have a secret way of communicating when we cannot be close
It's a goodbye fishin' line, see you while I go
We have to say goodbye, but we will be back together soon
With a Louisiana woman waitin' on the other side
I am excited to see my love on the other side of the Mississippi River
The Mississippi River don't look so wide
Our love overcomes any physical obstacles
Well, I thought I'd been loved but I never had
I had never truly experienced love until I met my Mississippi man
'Til I was wrapped in the arms of a Mississippi man
I felt complete and fulfilled in the arms of my lover
When he holds me close it feels almost
Our embrace is powerful and intense, like a hurricane
Like another hurricane just a-ripped the coast
Our love is so strong it can cause natural disasters like a hurricane
If he can't come to me I'ma gonna go to him
We will do whatever it takes to be together, even if it means crossing the Mississippi River
That Mississippi River, Lord, I'm gonna swim
Our love is worth the risk of swimming across the river
Well, the Mississippi River, Lord, it's one mile wide
The physical distance between us seems overwhelming
And I'm gonna get me to the other side
We are determined to be together, no matter what
Mississippi man, I'm losin' my mind
My love for my Mississippi man is driving me crazy
Gotta have your lovin' one more time
I crave my lover's touch and affection
I'm gonna jump in the river and-a here I go
I am committed to our love, even if it means taking risks
Too bad alligator you swim too slow
We will not let the danger of alligators get in the way of our love
Ah, there's too much love in this Mississippi heart
Our love is too strong to be broken
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
Our love is incredibly powerful
Hey
Let's keep pursuing our love, no matter what challenges may come
