Song Lyrics

composers: West, Laing, Pappalardi

Mississippi Queen, you know what I mean
Mississippi Queen, she taught me everything
Way down around Vicksburg, around Louisiana way
Lived a Cajun 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
Go an` get your partner now I`m 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 of rest of them dudes was makin` their bread
Go an` get your partner now I`m losin` mine

----- Guitar Lead -----

You know she was a dancer, she moved better on wine
While the rest of them dudes was gettin` their kicks
Go an` get your partner now I`m gettin` mine
Ohhhhh Mississippi Queen
