England Dan & John Ford Coley - Showboat Gambler lyrics

Tonight I'll board the Delta Queen A-bound for New Orleans And again I'll get that feelin' that I'm free Her paddle wheels will churn; And her smoke stacks they will burn And slowly I'll be carried to the sea 'Cause I'm a rambler, a showboat gambler I make my livin' on the run I'm a rambler, a showboat gambler Big Muddy will always be my home I know every river ship 'Cause I've taken every trip And I know every captain by his name In the eyes of every man I can tell what's in his hand I guess that I have played in every game 'Cause I'm a rambler, a showboat gambler I make my livin' on the run I'm a rambler, a showboat gambler Big Muddy will always be my home Tonight I'm a-sittin' here Beneath a chandelier There's a lady here to light my big cigar And if luck will be my friend We'll be finished up by ten. And we'll be standin' on the decks beneath the stars. 'Cause I'm a rambler, a showboat gambler I make my livin' on the run I'm a rambler, a showboat gambler Big Muddy will always be my home
