| Simple. I think this song is about a down-south prostitute. Great song, though. | |

| I have the best of Mountain on CD. It was pretty cheap to buy it for alot of their songs. It was like $5.00, and I play this on loud bass cd player. I'll tell you what, "Mississippi Queen" on the cd player is so cool. It's got all that bass from the amazing guitar pieces, and all toegether is great classic rock. | |

| the lyrics and drum parts were written by corky laing, the drummer from mountain. before he joined mountain, he was in a different band called energy. one time when they were putting on a concert, in new hampshire i think, the power went out so the only instrument that would work is the drums and corky laing noticed a girl dancing that interested him and he started playing drums to the beat of her dancing and shouting out thes lyrics. when he later joined up with mountain, he showed lesley west what he had witten and lesley west added the rest of the parts of this song. | |

| I did like this song. But dont hate me for saying this (to any hardcore mountain fans....) but I liked Ozzy's remake better. | |
