Verse 1:
FSittin' on a riverboat, havin' a party
BbMe and my Cajun FQueen
FShe's turnin' twenty-one on the Mississippi river
GHeadin' down to New OrCleans
The Fyear is 1894
BbOh come on mama and love me some more
Her Fdark eyes flash like a gambler's rings
She Gshakes her pretty Chead and Fsings
Chorus:
FLife for me is a riverboat fantasy
BbWatchin' the sun go Fdown
FA rock and roll band with a reefer in my hand
Now Glook at that wheel go Caround
FCocaine kisses and moonshine Misses
BbThat's the life for Fme
F F-E-Eb-D
I'm sailing away from my heartache
On Ga riverboat CfantaFsy
Verse 2:
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
Repeat chorus
Solo: F F Bb F F F GC F
Verse 3:
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
Repeat chorus
