[00:00.00]Riverboat - Faron Young
[00:06.48]Well I spent the better part of my life on a Mississippi riverboat
[00:12.02]I used to be known from coast to coast as the slickest gambler afloat
[00:17.34]I've dealt the cards from Minnesota to the harbor in new Orleans
[00:22.73]I made a lotta big money on the riverboat
[00:25.41]I loved a lotta pretty riverboat queens
[00:32.52]Riverboat riverboat I love your whistle's wail
[00:37.64]I wish I was back on the riverboart stead of in the Memphis jail
[00:49.16]Oh a big man got on the riverboat our last time in st Paul
[00:54.72]He had a lotta money but his luck went bad
[00:57.68]And the riverboat won it all
[00:59.99]He said I dealt from the bottom of the deck
[01:02.80]And he pulled a shiny knife
[01:05.40]But before that gambler lunged at me my 44 took his life
[01:15.07]Riverboat riverboat
[01:17.46]I love your whistle's wail
[01:20.24]I wish I was back on the riverboart stead of to jail
[01:32.08]Well they came on the boat and they took me to jail
[01:35.28]When we got to Tennessee
[01:37.20]A gamblin' man has very few friends guess nobody cared for me
[01:42.49]So I might be here for a many long years
[01:45.61]But if I ever get out
[01:47.67]I'm gonna head straight for that levee and get me
[01:50.65]A riverboat headin' south
