  Main Riff x2

  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, called the Mississippi Queen

  You know she was a dancer, she moved better on wine

  While the rest of those dudes where gettin their kicks

Main Riff

Boy I 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, buy her dresses that shine

While the rest of them dudes where makin their bread

Boy I beg your pardon I was losin mine

You know she was a dancer, she moved better on wine

While the rest of those dudes where gettin their kicks

Boy I beg your pardon I was gettin mine

Ohhhhh Mississippi Queen
