Mississippi Queen Lyrics

Bachman Turner Overdrive Mississippi Queen

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
While the rest of them dudes was gettin' their kicks
Boy, I 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 friends
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was loosin' mine
(music break 8 bars)
You know she was a dancer, she moved better on wine
While the rest of them dudes was gettin' their kicks
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was gettin' mine
Ahhhhhhhhhhh
Mississippi Queen
