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
