New Frontier: Riverboat man [lyrics]


New Frontier: Riverboat man [lyrics]

New Frontier

Riverboat man


My daddy died at twenty seven
Said he was a righteous man
They buried him in the fields he plowed
Without a dime in his hand
I've got three little brothers bigger than me
To take good care of momma
So take me where the river rolls
I do just what I wanna
I hear that riverboat at passin' by
I kiss my baby say goodbay

CHORUS
Won't you take me down the river
Won't you take me
I'm a riverboat man

Somebody told me 'bout California
They sang about a gold dust dream
All my dreams are down by the river
Floatin' on the Delta Queen
I got a two dollar fiddle in my hand
Derringer up my sleeve
Keepin' time with a dixie band
Keepin' time with me
I hear that riverboat passin' by
I kiss my baby say goodbye

CHORUS+
Sweet girls stopped and smiling at me
Smile at the riverboat man

Riverboat docked at Jackson Square
As the sun was goin' down
We followed the music up pirates alley
On the way to rue Royale
All the cobbled streets in Vieux Carre
With all the red lights on
The women smile from the balconies
They know whats goin' on
I hear that riverboat passin' by
I kiss my baby say goodbye

CHORUS
