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, Aboard the Mississippi Queen

You know she was a dancer

She moved better on wine



While the rest of them dudes were'a gettin' 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 that I told her, I'd do what I can

To keep her looking pretty

Buy her dresses that shine



While the rest of them dudes were making their bread

Boy I beg your pardon, I was losing mine
