Riverboat - Faron Young[00:00:00]

Written by：Allen Toussaint[00:00:01]

Well I spent the better part of my life[00:00:06]

On a Mississippi riverboat[00:00:09]

I used to be known from coast to coast[00:00:11]

As the slickest gambler afloat[00:00:14]

I've dealt the cards from Minnesota[00:00:17]

To the harbor in New Orleans[00:00:20]

I made a lotta big money on the riverboat[00:00:22]

I loved a lotta pretty riverboat queens[00:00:25]

Riverboat riverboat I love your whistle's wail[00:00:32]

I wish I was back on the riverboart[00:00:37]

Stead of in the Memphis jail[00:00:40]

Oh a big man got on the riverboat[00:00:49]

Our last time in St. Paul[00:00:51]

He had a lotta money but his luck went bad[00:00:54]

And the riverboat won it all[00:00:57]

He said I dealt from the bottom of the deck[00:00:59]

He pulled a shiny knife[00:01:02]

But before that gambler lunged at me[00:01:04]

My 44 took his life[00:01:07]

Riverboat riverboat I love your whistle's wail[00:01:14]

I wish I was back on the riverboart[00:01:20]

Stead of in the Memphis jail[00:01:22]

Well they came on the boat and they took me[00:01:31]

To jail when we got to Tennessee[00:01:33]

A gamblin' man has very few friends[00:01:37]

Guess nobody cared for me[00:01:39]

So I might be here for a many long years[00:01:42]

But if I ever get out[00:01:45]

I'm gonna head straight for that levee and get me[00:01:47]

A riverboat headin' south[00:01:50]

Riverboat riverboat I love your whistle's wail[00:01:57]

I wish I was back on the riverboart[00:02:02]

Stead of in the Memphis jail[00:02:05]

Stead of in the Memphis jail[00:02:09]
