And again I'll get that feeling that I'm free
Her paddle wheels will churn
And slowly I'll be carried to the sea
'Cause I'm a rambler
A showboat gambler
I make my living on the run
I'm a rambler
A showboat gambler
Big Muddy will always be my home
I know every river ship
And I know every captain by his name
In the eyes of every man
I guess that I have played in every game
'Cause I'm a rambler
A showboat gambler
I make my living on the run
I'm a rambler
A showboat gambler
Big Muddy will always be my home
Tonight I'm a-sitting here
Beneath a chandelier
There's a lady here to light my big cigar
And if luck will be my friend
And we'll be standing on the decks beneath the stars
(## 3x - fade to end ##)
'Cause I'm a rambler
A showboat gambler
I make my living on the run
I'm a rambler
A showboat gambler
Big Muddy will always be my home
