Faron Young - Riverboat слова песни
Well I spent the better part of my life on a Mississippi riverboatI used to be known from coast to coast as the slickest gambler afloatI`ve dealt the cards from Minnesota to the harbor in New OrleansI made a lotta big money on the riverboat I loved a lotta pretty riverboat queensRiverboat riverboat I love your whistle`s wailI wish I was back on the riverboart stead of in the Memphis jail[ banjo ]Oh a big man got on the riverboat our last time in St PaulHe had a lotta money but his luck went bad and the riverboat won it allHe said I dealt from the bottom of the deck and he pulled a shiny knifeBut before that gambler lunged at me my 44 took his lifeRiverboat riverboat...[ banjo ]Well they came on the boat and they took me to jail when we got to TennesseeA gamblin` man has very few friends guess nobody cared for meSo 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 meS riverboat headin` southRiverboat riverboat...Stead of in the Memphis jail
