Sittin' on a Riverboat havin' a party
Me and My Cajun queen
She's 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 Gambler's 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
Cocain kisses and moon shine misses
That's the life for me
I'm sailing away from my heartache
On a Riverboat fantasy
Can't think, Can't 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 I'm going to fall
WHAT?? Catch my mama that's 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
Cocain kisses and moon shine misses
That's the life for me
I'm sailing away from my heartache
On a Riverboat fantasy
Delta sun, beats down like a hammer
Mmm, it give the low down blues
I've got a Cotton gin
A weave and spin
To shake the dust form my shoes
I made my money and found me a honey
To tickle me under my chin
When mornin' comes I'll ride into town
And worry about the shape I'm 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
Cocain kisses and moon shine misses
That's the life for me
I'm sailing away from my heartache
On a Riverboat fantasy
