Mountain - Mississippi Queen Live version

Lyrics:
Mississippi Queen, If you know what I mean
Mississippi Queen, She taught me everything
Way down around Vicksburg, Around Louisiana way
Lived a cajun lady, Aboard the Mississippi Queen
You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine

While the rest of them dudes were'a gettin' their kicks,
Boy I beg your pardon, I was getting mine

Mississippi Queen, If you know what I mean
Mississippi Queen, She taught me everything
This lady she asked me, If I would be her man
You know that I told her, I'd do what I can
To keep her looking pretty
Buy her dresses that shine

While the rest of them dudes were making their bread
Boy I beg your pardon, I was losing mine

I was in Men's Warehouse buying slave clothes from a very square salesman and this came on over the system that had been playing elevator music. The salesman got this beatific look on his face - and snarled at me, "That's the best 4 measures of music ever played on a Gibson Les Paul Junior!" I said, "hell yeah!" and then asked me if I wanted a sport coat with that...

@JRRJRII there is a real white trash version of zakk wylde doing this in a walmart parking lot that comes close, but not quite.

Many groups/bands have covered this song, NONE can play it like Mountain.

Hi, I have some of the early 1970s [vinyl LP] albums, so enjoyed your YouTube posting. I do not like CD music quality... but was there ever a "Best of Mountain" release in that format?
