Riverboat,  sail downstream........with me on board

To be a gamblin' man,  it's hard,  oh Lord

Verse 1 ( same chord progression as Chorus )

Left my woman in some town......'bout forty days ago

Well I hope she's doin' fine....but I guess I'll never know   ( Repeat Chorus )

Verse 2

Got my long tail coat......and a top hat made of silk

I've been drinkin' cherry wine......lately instead of milk   ( Repeat Chorus )

Verse 3

Underneath the harvest moon.......the restless river she winds

Underneath the lantern's glow........there's a hundred restless minds    ( Repeat Chorus )
