England Dan & John Ford Coley - Showboat Gambler lyrics

Your rating:

Showboat Gambler



Tonight I'll board the Delta Queen

Bound for New Orleans

And again I'll get that feeling

That I'm free

*

Her paddle wheels will churn

And her smoke stacks they will burn

And slowly I'll be carried to the sea

*

Chorus

I'm a rambler, a showboat gambler

I make my living on the run

I'm a rambler, a showboat gambler

Big muddy will always be my home

*

I know every river ship

'Cause I've taken every trip

And I know every captain by his name

In the eyes of every man

I can tell what's in his hand

I guess that I have played in every game

*

Chorus

I'm a rambler, a showboat gambler

I make my living on the run

I'm a rambler, a showboat gambler

Big muddy will always be my home

*

Tonight I'm sittin' here

Beneath a chandelier

There's a lady here to light my big cigar

*

And if luck will be my friend

We'll be finished up by ten

And we'll be standing on the decks

Beneath the stars

*

Chorus

I'm a rambler, a showboat gambler

I make my living on the run

I'm a rambler, a showboat gambler

Big muddy will always be my home
