letra de riverboat - faron young
(bill anderson)
well, i spent the better part of my life
on a mississippi riverboat
i used to be known from coast to coast
as the slickest gambler afloat.
i’ve dealt the cards from minnesota
to the harbor in new orleans
i made a lotta big money on the riverboat
i loved a lotta pretty riverboat queens.
riverboat, riverboat
i love your whistle’s wail
i wish i was back on the riverboart
‘stead of in the memphis jail.
— instrumental —
oh, a big man got on the riverboat
our last time in st. paul
he had a lotta money but his luck went bad
and the riverboat won it all.
he said i dealt from the bottom of the deck
and he pulled a shiny knife
but before that gambler lunged at me
my .44 took his life.
riverboat, riverboat
i love your whistle’s wail
i wish i was back on the riverboart
‘stead of in the memphis jail.
— instrumental —
well, they came on the boat and they took me to jail
when we got to tennessee
a gamblin’ man has very few friends
guess n-body 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 riverboat headin’ south.
riverboat, riverboat
i love your whistle’s wail
i wish i was back on the riverboart
‘stead of in the memphis jail.
‘stead of in the memphis jail…
