Take a Ride on a Riverboat

Take a ride on a riverboat

Gonna leave and that's all she wrote

Paddlewheel down to New Orleans

Gonna find me a brand new queen

In the spring, when the leaves turn green

And a fever grips your soul

Magnolia hits the air

Gonna make you lose control

You get weak down in your knees

And your heart just slips away

Delta nights are deadly

Delta women, too

I'm gonna tell you by my witness

Oh, it's true

Take a ride on a riverboat

Gonna leave and that's all she wrote

Paddlewheel down to New Orleans

Gonna find me a brand new queen

When the eyes of a Cajun woman

Hits you like a storm

A hurricane ain't never blown

That could do a boy more harm

It's easy come and easy go

And like a fool you learn

Delta nights are deadly

Delta women, too

I'm gonna tell you by my witness

Yeah, yeah it's true

Take a ride on a riverboat

Gonna leave and that's all she wrote

Paddlewheel down to New Orleans

Gonna find me a brand new queen

Take a ride on a riverboat

Gonna leave and that's all she wrote

Paddlewheel down to New Orleans

Gonna find me a brand new queen

Delta nights are deadly

Delta women, too

But I'm gonna tell you by my witness

Yeah, yeah, yeah it's true

Take a ride on a riverboat

Gonna leave and that's all she wrote

Paddlewheel down to New Orleans

Gonna find me a brand new queen

Take a ride on a riverboat

Gonna leave and that's all she wrote

Paddlewheel down to New Orleans

Gonna find me a brand new queen
