bill anderson - riverboat lyrics
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 at new orleans
made a lotta big money on the riverboat 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
[ banjo ]
well 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 forty-four took his life
riverboat riverboat…
[ banjo ]
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 n-body cared for me
well 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…
