Sittin on a Riverboat havin a party Me and My Cajun queen Shes turnin 21 on the Mississippi river Headin out of New Orlean The Year is 1894 Oh, Come on mama and love me some more Her dark eyes flashed like a Gamblers ring She shakes her pretty head and sings CHOURS Life for me is a Riverboat Fantasy Watchin the sun go down Oh, a rock roll band, with a reefer in my hand Now look at that wheel go round Cocaine kisses and moonshine misses Thats the life for me Im sailing away from my heartache On a Riverboat fantasy Cant think, Cant drink anymore whisky I coulda drunk a river dry Mmm, this old boat is a just sittin in the moon light 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 Im going to fall WHAT?? Catch me mama thats all CHOURS Life for me is a Riverboat Fantasy Watchin the sun go down Oh, a rock roll band, with a reefer in my hand Now look at that wheel go round Cocaine kisses and moonshine misses Thats the life for me Im sailing away from my heartache On a Riverboat fantasy Delta sun, beats down like a hammer Mmm, it give the low down blues Ive got a cotton gin Ill weave and spin To shake the dust from my shoes I made my money and found me a honey To tickle me under my chin When mornin comes Ill ride into town And worry about the shape Im in CHOURS Life for me is a Riverboat Fantasy Watchin the sun go down Oh, a rock roll band, with a reefer in my hand Now look at that wheel go round Cocaine kisses and moonshine misses Thats the life for me Im sailing away from my heartache On a Riverboat fantasy
