I can still hear the riverboat's wheel Smell the black smoke rolling See the people waving Ridin' on the river's Delta Queen 1. When I was just a young man I had a fantasy I would be a captain of the Queen Each morning I would run down by the riverside Watch her as she'd gone passing by Ch. 2. Now I'm almost faded, it's been a long long time Since I've had a captain's dream of mine Delta Queen has come and gone and memories a few Exept the day that my captain's dream comes true Ch. Ch. Ridin' on the river's Delta Queen Lyrics from: http://svtiwww.feld.cvut.cz/bgrass/texty/RIVERBOA.TXT |

RIVERBOAT FANTASY (David Wilcox) F "Sittin on a riverboat, havin a party Bb F Me and my Cajun queen F She's turnin 21 on the Mississippi River G C Headin down to New Orleans F Bb The year is 1894 - C'mon, baby and love me some more F Her dark eyes flash like a gambler's rings 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'n roll band and a reefer in my hand G C Now look at those wheels go round!

Catch me mama, that's all (Chorus) Delta sun beat down like a hammer hmm It give the low-down blues I got a cotton gin, a wheel in spin And shake the dust from my shoes I made my money, I found me a honey To tickle me under my chin When morning comes, a ride into town Then worry bout the shape I'm in. (Chorus) ************************************************************************ I did the basic chords "by ear" - and they're the same for all 3 verses. Might try adding 7ths, though - especially for the G. Have fun! daylia |

09 May 03 - 09:45 PM (#949662) Subject: Lyr Add: RIVERBOAT FANTASY (David Wilcox) From: masato sakurai From HERE: RIVERBOAT FANTASY (Written by: David Wilcox) As recorded by David Wilcox on "My Eyes Keep Me in Trouble" (1983) 1. 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. CHORUS: 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. 2. Can't think, can't drink any more 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. CHORUS 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. CHORUS ~Masato |
