Ozzy Osbourne - Mississippi Queen Lyrics






Mississippi queen, if you know what I mean
Mississippi queen, she taught me everything
Way down around Vicksburg, around Louisiana way
Where lived the Cajun lady, aboard the Mississippi Queen
You know she was a dancer, she moved better on wine

While the rest of them dudes were gettin' their kicks
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was gettin' 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 lookin' pretty, buy her dresses that shine

While the rest of them dudes were makin' their friends
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was losin' mine

I was losin' my mind, on the Mississippi Queen

Mississippi queen, if you know what I mean
Mississippi queen, she taught me everything

Way down around Vicksburg, around Louisiana way
Where lived the Cajun lady, aboard the Mississippi Queen
You know she was a dancer. she moved better on wine
While the rest of them dudes were gettin' their kicks
Boy, I beg your pardon, I was gettin' mine

I was gettin' mine
I was gettin' mine

No, you can't have mine
No no, you can't have mine
To keep a mississippi queen

Ozzy Osbourne Mississippi Queen Comments
  1. G.... H....

    Appreciate you trying to give someone a job to try to get us a little Money, His only obligation is to get Hi and worry about himself.

  2. C.... D....

    I really like the background vocals that was a great idea. I wish the guitarist would have stayed a little truer to the original lead solo other than that it was great.

  3. C.... M....

    That Sharon is a fine Queen

  4. P.... C....

    Horrible lol

  5. r.... s....

    Fucking EARGASM, Satan save OZZY!!!!

  6. A.... J....

    why did RuPaul come to mind????

  7. A.... J....

    OZZY, OZZY, OZZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  8. K.... W....

    Great cover. Anyone reading this check out ozzy covering the black Sabbath song M.I.B. With primus. Awesome jam. There'd be no cover without the original but the ozzy/primus cover may be one of the greatest covers of all time

  9. I.... A....

    A man who was just meant to rock out till the day he dies!. PLEASE LORD LOOK AFTER THE TRUE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL. 🙏🤞🏼

  10. M.... C....

    The guitar riffs are monstrous slowed and dropped.

  11. �.... �....

    Someone point me in the way of more music that sounds like this
    Because I really really like this

    �.... �....

    The original by Mountain, also check "never in my life" by that band.

    �.... �....

    Cheetah Thunders.
    Thanks homie

    �.... �....

    Actually the whole entire climbing album is kick ass. Nantucket Sleighride And Flowers Of Evil I recommend checking them all out.

    �.... �....

    @East West Agreed, but gems like "For Yasgur's Farm" and "Theme For an Imaginary Western" have a whole different vibe than this heavy blues rager, so I gave a safe pick.

  12. A.... L....

    Not enough cow bell🛎️🛎️🛎️🛎️🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔

  13. D.... N....

    Cool cover, like the original better tho

  14. J.... t....

    Thought this would be Zakk...Cantrell needs to go back to AIC and leave this kind of stuff to Zakk....

    J.... t....

    You know what they say about opinions

  15. o.... o....

    You best singer!!!

    o.... o....

    Personally, Mountain did it better, but Ozzy is still great in this.

  16. M.... D....

    Never enough cowbell.

  17. D.... M....

    Needs mountain vocals on this track. Guitar drums bass on point. Ozzy just doesn’t do it for me on this one

    D.... M....

    Dylan McGill I feel the same way.

    D.... M....

    I love Ozzy, but the same happened to me. This song needs a stronger and more rabid voice. This cover sounds rather artificial and cold from that point of view.

  18. G.... H....

    Sergeant Green Pelican Bay for both of them for ReTraining.

  19. G.... H....

    Disappointed is an understatement, They are probably hanging out at a Police station shining there boots or something Weak like that.

  20. G.... H....

    How can it be I don't know anyone Criminal Enough to Commit the Crime of getting us some Money.

  21. G.... H....

    Disappointed in Matt and Robbie, I thought I taught them to break the Rules better than this.

  22. G.... H....

    Hey do you know any Real Criminals that can pull off the Crime of getting Mom and me some Money. Stupid me I do not know how Aunt Tammy Osborne is, ray decided to run a Fuck That Veteran Offencive and now the Police Refuse to pay any Restitution for all of the Damage.

  23. M.... B....

    Soy yo o todo lo que hace Ozzy siempre es épico?

    M.... B....

    100% correct

  24. A.... B....

    This is so good I almost passed the fuck out..

  25. B.... O....

    Love the Oz, but this one cannot touch the original. Raw, mean, perfect...

    B.... O....

    @onewithmyself wtf are you on dude??? Covers are for shitty bands that need more cash. Someone as legendary as Ozzy doing it comes off cheap. You will never out do the classic, so stop trying. Here's a crazy idea, write new shit.

    B.... O....

    @Bill the Butcher what a shallow and weak ass view of art you have. I dont know of any band or artist that hasn't done fucking covers. Or cover albums. It's a real common thing. And making a cover and adapting it to your own style isnt as easy as you seem to think. Ask any band. Were not talking about just some band playing covers in bars. Were talking bands with established styles making a song from an artist they respect, their own. I loved this album and clearly others did as well. I mean what band do you know of that doesnt or hasn't done covers?

    B.... O....

    @Bill the Butcher write new shit? How about you eat new shit?

    B.... O....

    @Tim Hoover shit if anything me having to even explain why an artist does a cover makes me love this album more. He made me hype it up more to myself. I've never seen or heard of a band covering a song with the idea of "I'll fucking show THEM how done." An exception might be if someone has a falling out with a band and remakes a song or something but that is a bit different

    B.... O....

    @onewithmyself Here's a cover I just found last week,these guys definitely rock
    https://youtu.be/F1DJFNSideQ

  26. n.... ....

    BTW this isn't Zaxk Wylde on this song, its Leslie West

    n.... ....

    Jerry Cantrell, dude

    n.... ....

    @Ed Ryan Sales Batalha Leslie supposedly did lay some guitar on this. From Blbbermouth.net: "Launch Radio Networks is reporting that Ozzy Osbourne's got a hit on his hands with his cover of "Mississippi Queen". The MOUNTAIN song is just one of the favorites he recorded for his new box set "Prince of Darkness", which came out this week. The track features guitar work from MOUNTAIN leader Leslie West, and Osbourne told Launch that he's always been a fan. "Well, Leslie West and I, and MOUNTAIN, go back many years," Ozzy said. "In fact, the very first American tour that BLACK SABBATH ever did, way back in, I think, 1971 or 1970, we opened the show (for MOUNTAIN). I've had a soft spot for Leslie when he was big, when he was bad, when he was on heroin, when he was not on heroin, when he... MOUNTAIN were, were, and still are, one of my favorite bands, and 'Mississippi Queen' was always one of my favorite songs. And then Sharon says, 'You know, we got Leslie West to play on it,' and I was like, 'You're joking!'"

  27. V.... G....

    Mr Zack Wilde on guitar

    V.... G....

    nope, not Zack, Leslie West..... yup here is the list of musicians on that Album.. Gregg Bissonette, Joe Bonamassa, Bogie Bowles, Tabby Callaghan, Louis Conte, Jim Cox, Madison Derek, Steve Dudas, Molly Foote, Mark Hudson, Sarah Hudson, Michael Landau, James Mastro, Paul Santo, Bruce Sugar

    Leslie West stepped in for the Mountain song... Ozzy did all overs on this album

    V.... G....

  28. J.... O....

  29. t.... l....

    t.... l....

  30. B.... L....

    Ozzy Osbourne - Mississippi Queen - Lyrics

    Mississippi queen, if you know what I mean
    Mississippi queen, she taught me everything
    Way down around Vicksburg, around Louisiana way
    Where lived the Cajun lady, aboard the Mississippi Queen
    You know she was a dancer, she moved better on wine

    While the rest of them dudes were gettin' their kicks
    Boy, I beg your pardon, I was gettin' 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 lookin' pretty, buy her dresses that shine

    While the rest of them dudes were makin' their friends
    Boy, I beg your pardon, I was losin' mine

    I was losin' my mind, on the Mississippi Queen

    Mississippi queen, if you know what I mean
    Mississippi queen, she taught me everything

    Way down around Vicksburg, around Louisiana way
    Where lived the Cajun lady, aboard the Mississippi Queen
    You know she was a dancer. she moved better on wine
    While the rest of them dudes were gettin' their kicks
    Boy, I beg your pardon, I was gettin' mine

    I was gettin' mine
    I was gettin' mine

    No, you can't have mine
    No no, you can't have mine
    To keep a mississippi queen

    (I hate lyrics guys lol)

  36. P.... P....

    regular show detected

    P.... P....

    @DoubleTime53
    False

    P.... P....

    @FernTheYoutuber True

    P.... P....

    How wrong you are and I don't watch the show

    P.... P....

    @FernTheYoutuber true, go hear it

    P.... P....

    confirmed Ozzy watches Regular Show

  37. D.... C....

    why can't they play this on the radio ????

    D.... C....

    Donald Castleberry Too much to explain.

    D.... C....

    Have to pay mountain too

    D.... C....

    @nineball26 Well that doesn't mean more money is paid, just that the regular amount is split.

    D.... C....

    @Matthew Logan So, very right..and new copyright law includes payment for a secondary artist's compositional variant, compare progression to original Mountain work .

    D.... C....

    Because they only play hip hop, trap and trash pop nowadays...

  38. L.... S....

    Love u Ozzy u humble, talented being!
