Riverboat Rambler

Well i left Cattanooga boy had a Dollar and a dime

Headed out from Nashville on the Hard Rock line

I'm working on that old Steamboat

And Learned to Rob and steal

When my feet had touched dry land

How happy i did feel

Been sharing every penny

For the makeup through the fall

Working for that dollar but it never added up at all

Coming around the riverbank

Where to old train whistle sang

The very next thing you hear from me

I've been tied to a ball and chain

Welcome this town tomorrow wrecking

I don’t know where I’ll be

But if it wasn't for that old Sheriff

I'll be back in Tennessee

Playing cards and crap games not looking for the score

And if i every get back home again

I'll never roam no more

Gather round your good time boys listen to my song

I may not know better

But i know you know right from wrong

Buy yourself a postcard

So you can see the lights of town

Find yourself a country girl keep quiet and settle down
