"Mississippi Queen" TRANSLATED

    The female monarch of the Mississippi River — perhaps you grasp what I'm intimating here.  The female monarch of the Mississippi River — she tutored me in every subject.
    In the vicinity of Vicksburg, Mississippi, which is just across the Louisiana state line, a woman of French-Canadian extraction inhabited a riverboat which had been christened in honor of the female monarch of the Mississippi River.
    This woman made her living as a dancer; she was more graceful after a glass or two of claret.  Other gentlemen were enjoying her performances, and so was I, although to a greater degree than they were; perhaps you grasp what I'm intimating here.
    This woman invited me to be her romantic partner and I replied that I would do my utmost to fulfill that duty.
    In order to maintain her appearance, I purchased a great deal of expensive clothing for her.  And so while other fellows were earning income, I was spending it.
    Hey, female monarch of the Mississippi River.
