Riverboat Queen Lyrics

See that hag down there by the stream
There's no trouble she hasn't seen
Once they called her Riverboat Queen
Her evil reigned supreme

Ruled with the gun
Fearful of none
Murdered for gain
Long was her reign
Drank with the men
Foulmouthed and mean
Riverboat Queen

She took lovers, threw them away
Gave them to her pirates to play
Then it happened one tragic day
She really falls in love

Wakes in the morn
Finds he has gone
Up on the deck
There by his neck
Hung from the mast
Oh, how she screams
Riverboat Queen

Down the galley ladder she treads
All her crewmen drunk in their beds
Puts a ball in each of their heads
Then blows the ship to hell

Swims to the shore
Pirate no more
Now she's a shell
Ageing, unwell
Exiled, ignored
Left to her dreams
Riverboat Queen
