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
