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
You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine

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

Mississippi Queen
If you know what I mean
Mississippi Queen
She taught me everything
This lady she asked me
If I would be her man
You know that I told her
I'd do what I can
To keep her looking pretty
Buy her dresses that shine

While the rest of them dudes was making their bread
Boy I beg your pardon, I was losing mine!

You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine

While the rest of them dudes were making their bread
Boy I beg your pardon, I was getting mine!

Oh Mississippi Queen!
