Mississippi Queens

Unpublished

You’re like the sun on a cloudy day
Calm after the storm
You’re the rainbow that never ends
You brighten up my day

Roll on roll on my love
Roll on towards the sea
You two are the Mississippi Queens
You’re the Marti Gras of New Orleans

When I’m happy or when I’m sad
When I’m feeling blue
Or when I just need someone to talk to
I can always turn to you two

Roll on roll on my love
Roll on towards the sea
You two are the Mississippi Queens
You’re the Marti Gras of New Orleans

You are the trumpet, and you are the sax
You are the jazzman’s theme
You are the rainbow that never ends
You brighten up my day

Roll on roll on my love
Roll on towards the sea
You two are the Mississippi Queens
You’re the Marti Gras of New Orleans

Cindy and Annie
They are the Mississippi Queens
Always rolling like the river
Your colors are coming right on through to me

Roll on roll on my love
Roll on towards the sea
You two are the Mississippi Queens
You’re the Marti Gras of New Orleans
