Well I spent the better part of my life on a Mississippi riverboat
I used to be known from coast to coast as the slickest gambler afloat
I've dealt the cards from Minnesota to the harbor in New Orleans
I made a lotta big money on the riverboat I
loved a lotta pretty riverboat queens
Riverboat riverboat I love your whistle's wail
I wish I was back on the riverboart stead of in the Memphis jail
banjo
Oh a big man got on the riverboat our last time in St Paul
He had a lotta money but his luck went bad and the riverboat won it all
He said I dealt from the bottom of the deck and he pulled a shiny knife

Riverboat riverboat...
banjo
Well they came on the boat and they took me
to jail when we got to Tennessee
A gamblin' man has very few friends guess nobody cared for me
So I might be here for a many long years but if I ever get out
I'm gonna head straight for that levee and get me
S riverboat headin' south
Riverboat riverboat...
Stead of in the Memphis jail

Young balanced honky tonk with pop vocal phrasing and this combination of grit and polish resulted in a streak of popularity.

Faron, the youngest of six children, was born on February 25, 1932, in Shreveport, Louisiana. He grew up on a dairy farm his family operated outside the city, and he got his first guitar at an early age. By the time he was out of high school, he had joined a country band that was performing at local clubs.

He graduated from Fair Park High School in 1951, and then attended Centenary College of Louisiana. But he left college to join the [Louisiana Hayride]{1} as a regular performer. While on the [Hayride,] he met Webb Pie.....MORE.....(full Faron Young biography) ←
