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 getting 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
Buy her dresses that shine
While the rest of them dudes was a making 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 a getting their kicks
Buddy, beg your pardon, I was getting mine
Mississippi queen
