Riverboat - Faron Young[00:00:00]
Well I spent the better part of[00:00:05]
My life on a Mississippi riverboat[00:00:07]
I used to be known from coast to coast[00:00:10]
As the slickest gambler afloat[00:00:13]
I've dealt the cards from Minnesota to[00:00:16]
The harbor in New Orleans[00:00:19]
I made a lotta big money on the riverboat[00:00:21]
I loved a lotta pretty riverboat queens[00:00:24]
Riverboat riverboat I love your whistle's wail[00:00:31]
I wish I was back on the riverboart[00:00:36]
Stead of in the Memphis jail[00:00:39]
Yeah yeah[00:00:41]
Oh a big man got on the riverboat[00:00:48]
Our last time in St Paul[00:00:50]
He had a lotta money but his luck went[00:00:53]
Bad and the riverboat won it all[00:00:55]
He said I dealt from the bottom of[00:00:58]
The deck and he pulled a shiny knife[00:01:00]
But before that gambler lunged[00:01:04]
At me my 44 took his life[00:01:06]
Riverboat riverboat[00:01:13]
I love your whistle's wail[00:01:16]
I wish I was back on the riverboart[00:01:19]
Stead of in the Memphis jail[00:01:21]
Well they came on the boat and[00:01:30]
They took me to jail when we got to Tennessee[00:01:32]
A gamblin' man has very few friends[00:01:36]
Guess nobody cared for me[00:01:38]
So I might be here for a many long years[00:01:40]
But if I ever get out[00:01:44]
I'm gonna head straight for[00:01:46]
That levee and get me[00:01:47]
A riverboat headin' south[00:01:49]
Riverboat riverboat[00:01:56]
I love your whistle's wail[00:01:58]
I wish I was back on the riverboat[00:02:01]
Stead of in the Memphis jail[00:02:04]
Stead of in the Memphis jail[00:02:08]
