[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
While the rest of them dudes were making their friends
Boy, 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
[Verse 3]
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
[Outro]
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
