Well I thought I'd been loved but I never had
                                    G           D
Till I was wrapped in the arms of a Mississippi man

When he holds me close it feels almost 
                            G           D
Like another hurricane just ripped the coast

If he can't come to me I'm gonna go to him
                                  G      D
That Mississippi River, Lord, I'm gonna swim

Too bad alligatior you swim too slow
