Waiting for the Mississippi Queen

Chorus: again

I received the following lyrics from Harpgirl which may be more 

accurate; but the above is the way I heard the John Hotze 

watching John play it, and make it a better tab...v.g.)

*****************

The Mississippi Queen
(John Hartford)

Oh the Mississippi Queen, oh the Mississippi Queen
Headin up the Mississippi, headin up the Mississippi
Oh the Mississippi Queen, oh the Mississippi Queen
She's the queen of the west, she's the queen of the west
Oh the Mississippi Queen, oh the Mississippi Queen
Headin up the Mississippi, headin up the Mississippi
The biggest steamboat, the biggest steamboat
That ever was afloat, that ever was afloat
On the Mississippi River back home
On the Mississippi River back home
