Lyrics

Down from Missouri
This lady made her way
The pride of the river
Queen of another day
St. Louis to New Orleans
The finest stern-wheeler
This river's ever seen
When the moon is bright
On a foggy night
I swear that I can see her
Through the mist
I catch a glimpse
Of the way things were
Is she still afloat
This river boat
Or reflections of a gambler's dream
The Memphis Queen
The captain had broken
The heart of a young bayou belle
But he lost when that pawn took
The queen with an old Creole spell
They say the boat vanished in midstream
A phantom drifting through time
Bound for New Orleans
When the moon is bright
On a foggy night
I swear that I can see her
Through the mist
I catch a glimpse
Of the way things were
Is she still afloat
This river boat
Or reflections of a gambler's dream
The Memphis Queen
St. Louis to New Orleans
The finest stern-wheeler
This river's ever seen
When the moon is bright
On a foggy night
I swear that I can see her
Through the mist
I catch a glimpse
Of the way things were
Is she still afloat
This river boat
I can see the Memphis Queen
The Memphis Queen
