Mississippi queen, you know what I mean

Mississippi queen, she taught me everything

Went down around dick's place, around louisiana way

Where lived the cajun lady, aboard the mississippi queen

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

While the rest of them dudes were gettin' their kicks

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 were makin' their friends

Boy, I beg your pardon, I was loosin' mine

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

While the rest of them dudes were gettin' their kicks

Boy, I beg your pardon, I was gettin' mine

Yeah, mississippi queen
