Lyrics Caddo Queen - Dobie Gray

Billy was a gambler
He played his hand from Freeport to Dallas
Ruby was his lady
She made her living at the Crystal Palace

Living came as easy
Loving was his being
Oh, let the river flow

Billy said to Ruby
"You know I'd stay to you
As long as you need me"
Ruby said to Billy
Uh, I've known a lot of men, Bill
But you're my only lover
Cause when you touch me
Uh, you make me feel like
I've never been touched before"

Yeah, darling down the river
They would dance every night
On the decks of the Caddo Queen
Holding on to each other
They would away till the day
Brought an end to the melody
Now back ain't for lovers no, no
One night Billy got cut down in Dallas
Ruby was so sad Lord
Oh, she threw away her soul
And get lost in the memory
Of the one who touched her
Oh, and make her feel like
She never been touched before yeah
And she still remembers how yeah
I know about called the Caddo Queen
That I found running in the bayou
I know a heart called the Caddo Queen she
I found running on the bayou oh, Lord
Roll on and let the river flow
And let the river flow.
