Verse 1:
F
Sittin' on a riverboat, havin' a party
Bb              F
Me and my Cajun Queen
F
She's turnin' twenty-one on the Mississippi river
G                     C
Headin' down to New Orleans

    F
The year is 1894
Bb
Oh come on mama and love me some more
    F
Her dark eyes flash like a gambler's rings
    G                 C        F
She shakes her pretty head and sings

Chorus:
F
Life for me is a riverboat fantasy
Bb                  F
Watchin' the sun go down
F
A rock and roll band with a reefer in my hand
    G                     C
Now look at that wheel go around
 
F
Cocaine kisses and moonshine Misses
Bb                  F
That's the life for me
F                                 F-E-Eb-D
I'm sailing away from my heartache
   G           C    F
On a riverboat fantasy

Verse 2:
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

Repeat chorus

Solo: F F Bb F  F F GC F

Verse 3:
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

Repeat chorus
