Mountain - Mississippi Queen

Mountain fue una excelente banda norteamericana de rock, foramada a finales de los 60 y a la que se les considera pionera del sonido heavy metal , integrada por el guitarrista Leslie West, el bajista Felix Pappalardi, el baterista Cornky Laing y el teclista Steve Knight.
Lograron una magnífica mezcla de rock pesado y pasajes líricos, apoyados por letras inspiradas y hasta un diseño conceptual, obra de Gail Collins, la mujer de Pappalardi, la cual, por cierto, acabaría asesinándolo.
Todavía hoy siguen en activo con el monumental Leslie West al frente. Se dice que el nombre del grupo se debe precisamente a la talla de su líder. . Su mayor éxito es Mississippi Queen

Canción

Letra

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,
Buddy, 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
Buddy, beg your pardon, I was losing mine!

----- Lead Guitar -----

You know she was a dancer
She moved better on wine

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

Yeah, Mississippi Queen!
