I wonder if anyone here can help me out. I was listening to a bluegrass radio program this morning in my car, and I heard a great song, but I didn't get to hear who was performing it. All I can remember of the lyrics is that the chorus contained the words "Mississippi Queen .... A Junkyard Dream."

Does anyone out there know this?

Thanks!

I believe I recall a group called Boone Creek doing a tune like that, and I think the name was in fact "Mississippi Queen." Not to be confused with the 70s summertime rocker by Mountain. Boone Creek was a short lasting group from Kentucky that included Ricky Skaggs and Terry Baucom.

It was on Boone Creek's album 'One Way Track' Sugar Hill LP 3701 [1978]. The composer was Wes Golding, guitarist/vocalist in the group.
