David Wilcox - Preachin' The Blues Lyrics
DAVID WILCOXRIVERBOAT FANTASYSittin' on a riverboatHavin' a partyMe and my Cajun QueenShe's turnin' twenty-one on the Mississippi riverHeadin' down to New OrleansThe year is 1894Oh come on mamaAnd love me some moreHer dark eyes flashLike a gambler's ringsShe shakes her pretty head and singsLife for me is a riverboat fantasyWatchin'the sun go downA rock and roll bandWith a reefer in my handNow look at that wheel go aroundCocaine kisses and moonshine MissesThat's the life for meI'm sailing away from my heartacheOn a riverboat fantasyCan't think, can't drinkAnymore whiskyI could'a drunk a river dryMmmmm...this old boat she'sJust sittin' in the moonlightCatchin' the gleam in her eyeShowers of rain come pourin' downThe sky full of starsLike a french lace gownShimmer, glimmerI think I'm gonna fallWhoops catch me mama, that's allLife for me is a riverboat fantasyWatchin' the sun go downA rock and roll bandWith a reefer in my handNow look at that wheel go aroundCocaine kisses and moonshine MissesThat's the life for meI'm sailing away from my heartacheOn a riverboat fantasyDelta sun beats down like a hammerMmmm....it gives the low down bluesI've got a cotton ginI'll weave and spinAnd shake the dust from my shoesI made my moneyI found me a honeyTo tickle me under my chinWhen mornin' comesI'll ride into townAnd worry 'bout the shape I'm inLife for me is a riverboat fantasyWatchin' the sun go down-acap
