Mississippi Queen Lyrics

von Mountain

Mississippi Queen
If you know what I mean
Mississippi Queen
She taught me everything
Way down around Vicksburg
Around Lousiana way
Lives a canjun lady
Called the Mississippi Queen
You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine
While the rest of them dudes
Was gettin' their kicks
Buddy 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
Buy her dresses that shine
While the rest of them dudes
Was makin' their bread
Buddy beg your pardon
I was losin' mine

Oh you know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine
While the rest of them dudes
Was gettin' their kicks
Buddy beg your pardon
I was gettin' mine
