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
