Mississippi queen

If you know what I mean

Mississippi queen

She taught me everything

Way down around Vicksburg

Around Louisiana way

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
