[Intro]
E A E A E A
B
[Verse 1]
E A
Well, I spent the better part of my life
E B
On a Mississippi riverboat
E A
I used to be known from coast to coast
E B E
As the slickest gambler afloat
A E
I've dealt the cards from Minnesota
B E
To the harbor at New Orleans
A E
I've made a lotta big money on a riverboat,
A E
I've loved a lotta pretty riverboat queens
[Chorus]
A E A E
Riverboat, riverboat
A E
I love your whistle's wail
A E A E
I wish I was back on the riverboat
A E
'Stead of in the Memphis jail
[Post-Chorus]
E A E A E A
B
[Verse 2]
E A
Oh, a big man got on the riverboat
E B
Our last time in St. Paul
E A
He had a lotta money but his luck went bad
E B E
And the riverboat won it all
A E
He said I dealt from the bottom of the deck
E B
And he pulled a shiny knife
A E
Before that gambler lunged at me
A E
My forty-four took his life
[Chorus]
A E A E
Riverboat, riverboat
A E
I love your whistle's wail
A E A E
I wish I was back on the riverboat
A E
'Stead of in the Memphis jail
[Post-Chorus]
E A E A E A
B
[Verse 3]
E A
Well, they came on the boat and they took me to jail
E B
When we got to Tennessee
E A
A gamblin' man has very few friends
E B E
Guess nobody cared for me
A E
So I might be here for a many long years
E B
But if I ever get out
A E
I'm gonna head straight for that levee and get me
A E
A riverboat headin' south
[Chorus]
A E A E
Riverboat, riverboat
A E
I love your whistle's wail
A E A E
I wish I was back on the riverboat
A E
'Stead of in the Memphis jail
[Outro]
A E A E A E A E
'Stead of in the Memphis jail
