Mississippi queen, if you know what I mean
Mississippi queen, she taught me everything
Way down around Vicksburg, around Louisiana way
Where lived

Charley's town
Well, they tell me the water,

On a map her fingers trace the line

It really don't matter what state you're in
One day the south's gonna rise again
Vicksburg, Birmingham, Natchez and Savannah, Panama City
Y'all

Water pourin' into Vicksburg, don't know what I'm going to do
"Don't reach out for me," she said
"Can't you see I'm drownin' too?"
