Riverboat Fantasy

DAVID WILCOX RIVERBOAT FANTASY Sittin' on a riverboat Havin' a party Me and my Cajun Queen She's turnin' twenty-one on the Mississippi river Headin' down to New Orleans The year is 1894 Oh come on mama And love me some more Her dark eyes flash Like a gambler's rings She shakes her pretty head and sings Life for me is a riverboat fantasy Watchin'the sun go down A rock and roll band With a reefer in my hand Now look at that wheel go around Cocaine kisses and moonshine Misses That's the life for me I'm sailing away from my heartache On a riverboat fantasy Can't think, can't drink Anymore whisky I could'a drunk a river dry Mmmmm... this old boat she's Just sittin' in the moonlight Catchin' the gleam in her eye Showers of rain come pourin' down The sky full of stars Like a french lace gown Shimmer, glimmer I think I'm gonna fall Whoops catch me mama, that's all Life for me is a riverboat fantasy Watchin' the sun go down A rock and roll band With a reefer in my hand Now look at that wheel go around Cocaine kisses and moonshine Misses That's the life for me I'm sailing away from my heartache On a riverboat fantasy Delta sun beats down like a hammer Mmmm... it gives the low down blues I've got a cotton gin I'll weave and spin And shake the dust from my shoes I made my money I found me a honey To tickle me under my chin When mornin' comes I'll ride into town And worry 'bout the shape I'm in Life for me is a riverboat fantasy Watchin' the sun go down A rock and roll band With a reefer in my hand Now look at that wheel go around Cocaine kisses and moonshine Misses That's the life for me Yes it is I'm sailing away from my heartache On a riverboat fantasy
