mississippi river queen

hey

california you don't know me

new york city you can't show me

anything i haven't seen at least a hundred times before

i still love you

new orleans

mississippi river queen

'cause when it comes to loving' you beat all i've ever seen!

and i've seen a lot of ladies in my time

i've had me a few women that were fine

ah

but i don't need no city woman messing' with my mind

so goodbye san francisco girl

i'm leaving' you behind. and i've had some senoritas down in mexico

i met a few potatoes up in idaho

i've had a few peaches in georgia and that san antoine rose

if the good lord made any better

that you he's the only one who knows
