Paragraph Lyric
I'm gonna take me a ride on a riverboat
Down to New Orleans
Gotta pocket full o'money and a liquor bottle
Gonna drink away my dreams

Don't really wanna leave
Sure I can't stay
I'm gonna get on that riverboat
And gamble my life away

Makes me fly like an eagle
Higher and higher every day
Cause in my mind and in my dreams
I can't get her away

Gonna sit down at the poker table
Five card stud's my game
Gonna try and forget that crazy woman
Gonna try and forget her name

I don't know how I'll make it
But I'll forget her some way
This is the time and the only time
She ain't gonna get away

Chorus
I'm gonna take me a ride on a riverboat   Down to New Orleans   Gotta pocket full o'money and a liquor bottle   Gonna drink away my dreams      Don't really wanna leave   Sure I can't stay   I'm gonna get on that riverboat   And gamble my life away      Makes me fly like an eagle   Higher and higher every day   Cause in my mind and in my dreams   I can't get her away      Gonna sit down at the poker table   Five card stud's my game   Gonna try and forget that crazy woman   Gonna try and forget her name      I don't know how I'll make it   But I'll forget her some way   This is the time and the only time    She ain't gonna get away      Chorus
