Mississippi Queen
Seductive Lessons from the Mississippi Queen
Lyrics
Mississippi queen
Referring to a woman from Mississippi
If you know what I mean
Hinting at a deeper understanding or connection
Mississippi queen
Reiteration of the woman from Mississippi
She taught me everything
Expressing that the woman taught the speaker important things
Way down around Vicksburg, around Louisiana way
Describing the geographical location around Vicksburg, Louisiana, and the Mississippi River
There lived the Cajun lady aboard the Mississippi Queen
Introducing the Cajun lady on a boat called the Mississippi Queen
You know she was a dancer, she moved better on wine
Highlighting the lady's skills as a dancer, especially when influenced by wine
While the rest of them dudes were getting their kicks
Contrasting the speaker with other men who were enjoying themselves
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was getting mine
Asserting the speaker's focus on personal enjoyment
Mississippi queen
Reiteration of the woman from Mississippi
If you know what I mean
Reiterating a deeper connection or understanding
Mississippi queen
Reiteration of the woman from Mississippi
She taught me everything
Emphasizing that the woman taught the speaker important things
This lady she asked me if I would be her man
Narrating how the lady asked the speaker to be her man
You know that I told her I'd do what I can
Affirming the speaker's willingness to do what he can for her
To keep her looking pretty, buy her dresses that shine
Expressing the speaker's commitment to keeping the lady attractive with shiny dresses
While the rest of them dudes were making their friends
Comparing the speaker with other men making friends
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was losing mine
Reiterating the speaker's focus on personal enjoyment, possibly at the expense of losing friends
You know she was a dancer, she moved better on wine
Reiterating the lady's dancing skills, especially when influenced by wine
While the rest of them dudes were getting their kicks
Repeating the contrast between the speaker and other men having fun
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was getting mine
Reiterating the speaker's focus on personal enjoyment
Oh, Mississippi Queen
Reiteration of the woman from Mississippi
