While the rest of them dudes were'a gettin' 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 were 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 were'a gettin' their kicks,
Brotha, beg your pardon, now I'm getting mine!
Yeeeaaaaah, Mississippi Queen!
