"Mississippi Queen" lyrics

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 getting their kicks
Boy, I 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 what I told her, I would do what I can
To keep her looking pretty, buy her dresses that shine

While the rest of them dudes were making their friends
Buddy, I beg your pardon, I was losing mine

I was losing 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 getting their kicks
Brother, I beg your pardon, I was getting mine

I was getting mine
I was getting mine

No, you can't have mine
No, no, you can't have mine
To keep a Mississippi queen
