Capo 1
Fiddle Intro:
D5 G5 D5 A5 D5 G5 D5 A5 D5
D5 G5
Well I spent the better part of my life
D5 A5
On a Mississippi riverboat
D5 G5
And I used to be known from coast to coast
D5 A5 D5
As the slickest gambler afloat
G5 D5
I deal the cards from Minnesota
A5 D5
To the harbour at New Orleans
G5 D5
I made alot of big money on a Riverboat
A5 D5
And met a lot of pretty Riverboat queens
G5 D5 G5 D5 G5 D5
Riverboat, Riverboat I love your whistle?s wail
G5 D5 G5 D5
I wish I was back on the Riverboat
A5 D5
Instead of in a Memphis jail
G5 D5
Instead of in a Memphis jail
Well a big man got on the Riverboat
Our last time in St Paul
He had a lot of money but his luck ran out
And the Riverboat crew won it all
He said I dealt from the bottom of the deck
And he pulled a shinny knife
But before that gambler lunged at me
My 44 took his life
Chorus
Well they came on the boat and they took me to jail
When we got to Tennessee
A gambling man has very few friends
Guess nobody cared for me
So I might be here for a many long year
But if I ever get out
I'm going to head straight for that levy
And get me a Riverboat heading south
Chorus
