Verse 1
D
Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man ev'ry night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been
Verse 2
D
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of pane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
Verse 3
D
If you come down to the river
Bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry if you got no money
People on the river are happy to give
