MISSISSIPPI RIVER QUEEN
(Written By David Allan Coe)


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
