on a Mississippi riverboat,

as the slickest gambler afloat.

I dealt the cards from Minnesota

I made a lot of big money on a Riverboat,

our last time in St Paul ,
D G
he had a lot of money but his luck ran bad,
D - A D
and the Riverboat won it all.
G D
He said I dealt from the bottom of the deck,

and he pulled a shiny knife,

my 44 took his life.

when we got to Tennessee ,

a gambling man has very few friends,
