Lyrics

Tonight I'll board the Delta Queen Abound for New Orleans And then I'll get the feeling that I'm free That ol' paddle wheel will turn And the smoke stacks they will burn As slowly I am carried to the sea I'm a rambler, a showboat gambler I make my livin' on the run I'm a rambler, a showboat gambler The Big Muddy will always be my home I know every river ship 'cause I've taken every trip And I know every captain by his name In the eyes of every man, I can see what's in his hand I guess that I have played in every game I'm a rambler, a showboat gambler I make my livin' on the run I'm a rambler, a showboat gambler The Big Muddy will always be my home 'Til then I'm sittin' here beneath this chandelier And there's a lady here to light my big cigar And if luck will be my friend, we'll be finished up by ten I'll be standin' on the deck beneath the stars I'm a rambler, a showboat gambler I make my livin' on the run I'm a rambler, a showboat gambler The Big Muddy will always be my home I'm a rambler, a showboat gambler I make my livin' on the run I'm a rambler, a showboat gambler The Big Muddy will always be my home
