Songtexte

Well I spent the better part of my life on a Mississippi river boat
I used to be known from coast to coast as the slickest gambler afloat
I dealt the cards from Minnesota to the harbor at New Orleans
I made a lot of big money on a river boat
I loved a lot of pretty river boat queens
River boat, river boat
I loved your whistle's wail
I wish I was back on the river boat
'Stead of in the Memphis jail
Oh a big man got on the river boat our last time in St. Paul
He had a lot of money but his luck
Went bad and the river boat won it all
He said I dealt from the bottom of the deck, he pulled a shiny knife
Before that gambler lunged at me my .44 took his life
River boat, river boat
I loved your whistle's wail
I wish I was back on the river boat
'Stead of in the Memphis jail
Well they came on the boat and they took
Me to jail when we got to Tennessee
A gambling man has very few friends, guess nobody cared for me
So 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 river boat heading south
River boat, river boat
I loved your whistle's wail
I wish I was back on the river boat
'Stead of in the Memphis jail
'Stead of in the Memphis jail
