Mississippi Queen - you know what I mean
Mississippi Queen - she taught me everything

Way down around Vicksburg around Lousisiana way
There's a cajun lady called the Mississippi Queen
You know she was a dancer, she moved like a live wire
You know she was a dancer, she moved better on wine
While the rest of those dudes where gettin' their kicks
Brother, beg your pardon, I was gettin mine
Buddy, beg your pardon, I was gettin 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 lookin pretty like a jeweled child
To keep her lookin pretty, buy her dresses that shine
While the the rest of them dudes was makin their bread
Buddy, let me tell you I was losin' mine
Buddy beg your pardon I was losing mine.

You know she was a dancer, she moved like a live wire
You know she was a dancer, she moved better on wine
While the rest of those dudes where gettin there kicks
Brother beg your pardon I was gettin mine

Ohhhhh Mississippi Queen
