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
|
what 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 morning comes
|
I'll ride into town
|
And worry about 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
