Mississippi Queen Lyrics

MOUNTAIN - MISSISSIPPI QUEEN (West, Laing, Pappalardi & Rea)
From CLIMBING album. Released on March 1970.
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
BRBR

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
rest of them dudes were making their bread
Boy I beg your pardon, I was losing mine
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
Oooooohhh Mississippi Queen
