Riverboat - Faron Young[00:00:00]
Well I spent the better part of my life on a Mississippi riverboat[00:00:06]
I used to be known from coast to coast as the slickest gambler afloat[00:00:12]
I've dealt the cards from Minnesota to the harbor in new Orleans[00:00:17]
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 stead of in the Memphis jail[00:00:37]
Oh a big man got on the riverboat our last time in st Paul[00:00:49]
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]
And he pulled a shiny knife[00:01:02]
But before that gambler lunged at me my 44 took his life[00:01:05]
Riverboat riverboat[00:01:15]
I love your whistle's wail[00:01:17]
I wish I was back on the riverboart stead of to jail[00:01:20]
Well they came on the boat and they took me to jail[00:01:32]
When we got to Tennessee[00:01:35]
A gamblin' man has very few friends guess nobody cared for me[00:01:37]
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[00:01:57]
I love your whistle's wail[00:02:00]
I wish I was back on the riverboart stead of in the Memphis jail[00:02:02]
Stead of in the Memphis jail[00:02:09]
