Riverboat Fantasy Lyrics

DAVID WILCOX
RIVERBOAT FANTASY


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

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

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

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

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

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
Yes it is
I'm
sailing away from my heartache
On a riverboat fantasy
