Mississippi Queen

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
I 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

Hey! Taught me everything
Mississippi Queen

This lady she asked me if I would be her man
You know that I told her

To keep her looking pretty
I buy her dresses that shine

While the rest of them dudes
Was a makin' their bread
Buddy, beg your pardon, I was losing mine
