Riverboat lyrics
Send "Riverboat" Ringtone to your Cell
(Bill Anderson)
Well, I spent the better part of my life
On a Mississippi riverboat
I used to be known from coast to coast
As the slickest gambler afloat.
I`ve dealt the cards from Minnesota
To the harbor in New Orleans
I made a lotta big money on the riverboat
I loved a lotta pretty riverboat queens.
Riverboat, riverboat
I love your whistle`s wail
I wish I was back on the riverboart
`Stead of in the Memphis jail.
--- Instrumental ---
Oh, a big man got on the riverboat
Our last time in St. Paul
He had a lotta money but his luck went bad
And the riverboat won it all.
He said I dealt from the bottom of the deck
And he pulled a shiny knife
But before that gambler lunged at me
My .44 took his life.
Riverboat, riverboat
I love your whistle`s wail
I wish I was back on the riverboart
`Stead of in the Memphis jail.
--- Instrumental ---
Well, they came on the boat and they took me to jail
When we got to Tennessee
A gamblin` man has very few friends
Guess nobody cared for me.
So I might be here for a many long years
But if I ever get out
I`m gonna head straight for that levee
And get me a riverboat headin` south.
Riverboat, riverboat
I love your whistle`s wail
I wish I was back on the riverboart
`Stead of in the Memphis jail.
`Stead of in the Memphis jail... Send " Riverboat" Ringtone to your Cell
