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 were a 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 were making their bread
Boy I beg your pardon, I was losing mine
