A
Mississippi Queen you know what I mean
Mississippi Queen she taught me everything
D
Way down around Vicksburg around Lousisiana way
A
There's a cajun lady called the Mississippi Queen
E
You know she was a dancer she moved like a live wire
A
While the rest of those dudes where gettin there kicks
Brother 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 like a jeweled child
While the the rest of them dudes where makin there bread
Brother let me tell you I was losin mine
You know she was a dancer she moved like a live wire
While the rest of those dudes where gettin there kicks
Brother beg your pardon I was gettin mine
Ohhhhh Mississippi Queen
