E
A house boat bar called the Gin Palace
A
Docked in White Trash Bay
E                         Bm
We serve homemade tequila twenty three hours a day
E
We got hand rolled cigars
A
And a three foot driftwood bar
            E             Bm
Where Cap'n Earl serenades the workin' girls

E
Now you can have warm flat beer
A
Or a jar of cherry moonshine
E
And you can have a shot of Copperhead Whiskey
Bm
You can have a pull of Thunderbird Wine
           E
It's always cash in hand
                  A
And you can still drink if you can still stand
E                            Bm
Floating on a bayou barstool praying to God we don't sink

A
And on this boat I'm the king of the sea
                 E
There ain't nobody that don't know me
                                                       Bm
Now I'm a riverboat bandit mean as hell known near and far
                  A
And if you hear a rumor I'm dead and gone
E
Know this legend will still live on

Throw me in the river with concrete boots
                 Bm                          E
Like a bottle of whiskey I was bound With to drown

We got a dirty blonde waitress her name's Scarlet
A
Her red lipstick, she's a sailors harlot
E                                              Bm
She can drop it down low and make ya head spin if the money gets right
E
She's got a snake skin wallet on a wallet chain
A
Her faded tramp stamp says "Bring the Pain"
E                                  Bm
And she'll be gone without warning in the morning, don't fall in love

A
And on this boat I'm the king of the sea
                 E
There ain't nobody that don't know me
                                                       Bm
Now I'm a riverboat bandit mean as hell known near and far
                  A
And if you hear a rumor I'm dead and gone
E
Know this legend will still live on

Throw me in the river with concrete boots
                 Bm                          E
Like a bottle of whiskey I was bound With to drown

E
We play hundred dollar games of single rack nine ball
A
And you can throw bones if you like to watch dice fall
E                                                           Bm
You can cut cards with Tennessee Slim we'll play seven card stud
E
You better have a knife or a .44
A
Cause every night there's blood on this floor
                   E                  Bm     E
And there ain't no law to get all the way to White Trash Bay

A
And on this boat I'm the king of the sea
                 E
There ain't nobody that don't know me
                                                       Bm
Now I'm a riverboat bandit mean as hell known near and far
                  A
And if you hear a rumor I'm dead and gone
E
Know this legend will still live on

Throw me in the river with concrete boots
                 Bm                          E
Like a bottle of whiskey I was bound With to drown

I hope they find me in the river with concrete boots
                       Bm                     E
Cause like a bottle of whiskey I was bound to drown
