Verse 1:
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
Chorus:
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
Verse 2:
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
Whoops catch me mama, that's all
Repeat chorus
Solo:
Verse 3:
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 mornin' comes I'll ride into town
And worry 'bout the shape I'm in
Repeat chorus
