Lyrics Bachman-Turner Overdrive

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
