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
