Riverboat Queen
I'm a Mississippi card shark and I've been on a winning streak
I lost my heart to the riverboat queen, and you know I can't hardly speak
I've won and lost it most everything, hated most all I've seen
But she could never understand and that's why she's my riverboat queen
Seems my luck is letting me down. What's a gambler with a heart?
It seems she's taken part, she's the riverboat queen
She called my hand and I lost it
She seen right through my bluff
She said your poker days are over boy, but I could never get enough
A gambling man has to gamble, to gamble for the green
A dollar bill never broke my heart, I tip my hand to the river boat queen
Seems my luck is letting me down. What's a gambler with a heart?
It seems she's taken part (Of me) she's the riverboat queen
I guess I could have started out right with a plow on my father's land
If I lead such a healthy life, maybe now I'd have her hand
This wayward life how it beckoned me, at such a tender age
This Mississippi Streak I am riding on, is just another page
Seems my luck is letting me down. Whats a gambler with the heart?
It seems she's taken part, she's my river boat queen
I lost my heart to the riverboat queen, and you know I can't hardly speak
I've won and lost it most everything, hated most all I've seen
But she could never understand and that's why she's my riverboat queen
Seems my luck is letting me down. What's a gambler with a heart?
It seems she's taken part, she's the riverboat queen
She called my hand and I lost it
She seen right through my bluff
She said your poker days are over boy, but I could never get enough
A gambling man has to gamble, to gamble for the green
A dollar bill never broke my heart, I tip my hand to the river boat queen
Seems my luck is letting me down. What's a gambler with a heart?
It seems she's taken part (Of me) she's the riverboat queen
I guess I could have started out right with a plow on my father's land
If I lead such a healthy life, maybe now I'd have her hand
This wayward life how it beckoned me, at such a tender age
This Mississippi Streak I am riding on, is just another page
Seems my luck is letting me down. Whats a gambler with the heart?
It seems she's taken part, she's my river boat queen
