Riverboat Lady Songtext
von Brian Cadd

There′s my father in the valley
There's my mother slowly goin′ to seed
There's my cousin in haberdashery
There's a grass to cut and fifteen hogs to feed
Ooh, I really need this time away from home
And I′ve been away for almost four whole days
So I picked myself a little girl and hold her hand
On this riverboat on these old waterways

And I′m gonna dance with that riverboat lady
Drivin' me crazy, comin′ 'round again
Gonna dance with that riverboat lady
Drivin′ me crazy, comin' ′round again


I've been watchin' all this evenin′
And I found the one that I like best of all
Though I′ve seen her with a gamblin' man
I keep hopin′ that for me she's gonna fall
Ooh, I found out from a man before
That she works the table side-eyed for a friend
Ooh, I know that any moment now
She′ll smile at me and pass this way

And I'm gonna dance with that riverboat lady
Drivin′ me crazy, comin' 'round again
Gonna dance with that riverboat lady
Drivin′ me crazy, comin′ 'round again

Ooh, she looks as though she needs to love a man
And I think that she′s been hurt bad once before
If she'd only let me then I know that I could say
That with me she won′t be lonesome anymore

So I'm gonna dance with that riverboat lady
Drivin′ me crazy, comin' 'round again
Gonna dance with that riverboat lady
Drivin′ me crazy, comin′ 'round again


Gonna dance with that riverboat lady
Drivin′ me crazy, comin' ′round again
Gonna dance with that riverboat lady
Drivin' me crazy, comin′ 'round again
Gonna dance with that riverboat lady
Drivin' me crazy, comin′ ′round again
Gonna dance with that riverboat lady
Drivin' me crazy, comin′ 'round again
