Hey, Louisiana woman, Mississippi man
Referring to a couple from Louisiana and Mississippi.
We get together every time we can

There's too much love in the Mississippi heart
Highlighting the abundance of love in the Mississippi heart.
Too much love in this Louisiana heart
Similarly, emphasizing the love in the Louisiana heart.
See the alligators all a waitin' nearby
Observing alligators in the vicinity, possibly symbolic of challenges.
Sooner or later they know I'm gonna try
Anticipating the eventual attempt to overcome challenges.
When she waves from the bank don't you know I know
Recognizing a farewell to the routine for the pursuit of love.
It's goodbye fishin' line, see you while ago
Confirming the decision to leave behind fishing for the woman.
