Mississippi Queen
If you know what I mean
Mississippi Queen

She taught me everything

Way down around Vicksburg

Around Louisiana Way
Lived a Cajun lady
Aboard the Mississippi Queen


Just where she was a dancer
She moved better on wine

While the rest of them dudes was'a gettin' their kicks
I'll a-beg your pardon, I was getting mine


Mississippi Queen
If you know what I mean
Mississippi Queen

She taught me everything

The lady, she asked me

If I would be her man, yeah
I know that I told her
That I'd do what I can


To keep her looking pretty
Buy her dresses that shine

While the rest of them dudes was gettin' their kicks
I'll a-beg your pardon, I was losing mine


To keep her looking pretty
While the rest of them stopped by
While the rest of them dudes was'a gettin' their kicks

I'll a-beg your pardon, I was losing mine

Mississippi Queen
