Mississippi queen, if you know what I mean

Mississippi queen, she taught me everything

Way down around Vicksburg, 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 losin' mine



I was losin' my mind, on the Mississippi Queen



Mississippi queen, if you know what I mean

Mississippi queen, she taught me everything



Way down around Vicksburg, 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



I was gettin' mine

I was gettin' mine



No, you can't have mine

No no, you can't have mine

To keep a mississippi queen
