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, we called her Mississippi Queen
You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine
While the rest of them dudes was a-gettin' their kicks
Buddy, 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 a-makin' their bread
Buddy, beg your pardon, I was losing mine
You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine
While the rest of them dudes was gettin' their kicks
Brother, beg your pardon, now I'm getting mine
Ohhhh, Mississippi Queen
Mississippi Queen, she taught me everything
Way down around Vicksburg, around Louisiana way
Lived a Cajun lady, we called her Mississippi Queen
You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine
While the rest of them dudes was a-gettin' their kicks
Buddy, 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 a-makin' their bread
Buddy, beg your pardon, I was losing mine
You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine
While the rest of them dudes was gettin' their kicks
Brother, beg your pardon, now I'm getting mine
Ohhhh, Mississippi Queen
