Lyrics and translation Faron Young - Riverboat (Remastered)
Well,
I
spent
the
better
part
of
my
life
Eh
bien,
j'ai
passé
la
plus
grande
partie
de
ma
vie
On
a
Mississippi
riverboat
Sur
un
bateau
à
vapeur
du
Mississippi
I
used
to
be
known
from
coast
to
coast
J'étais
connu
d'un
océan
à
l'autre
As
the
slickest
gambler
afloat.
Comme
le
joueur
le
plus
habile.
I′ve
dealt
the
cards
from
Minnesota
J'ai
distribué
les
cartes
du
Minnesota
To
the
harbor
in
New
Orleans
Au
port
de
la
Nouvelle-Orléans
I
made
a
lotta
big
money
on
the
riverboat
J'ai
gagné
beaucoup
d'argent
sur
le
bateau
à
vapeur
I
loved
a
lotta
pretty
riverboat
queens.
J'ai
aimé
beaucoup
de
jolies
reines
des
bateaux
à
vapeur.
Riverboat,
riverboat
Bateau
à
vapeur,
bateau
à
vapeur,
I
love
your
whistle's
wail
J'aime
le
sifflet
qui
hurle,
I
wish
I
was
back
on
the
riverboart
J'aimerais
être
de
retour
sur
le
bateau
à
vapeur,
′Stead
of
in
the
Memphis
jail.
Au
lieu
d'être
dans
la
prison
de
Memphis.

Oh,
a
big
man
got
on
the
riverboat
Oh,
un
gros
bonnet
est
monté
sur
le
bateau
à
vapeur,
Our
last
time
in
St.
Paul
Notre
dernière
fois
à
St.
Paul.
He
had
a
lotta
money
but
his
luck
went
bad
Il
avait
beaucoup
d'argent,
mais
sa
chance
a
tourné
And
the
riverboat
won
it
all.
Et
le
bateau
à
vapeur
a
tout
gagné.
He
said
I
dealt
from
the
bottom
of
the
deck
Il
a
dit
que
j'avais
distribué
des
cartes
depuis
le
bas
du
paquet,
And
he
pulled
a
shiny
knife
Et
il
a
sorti
un
couteau
brillant.
But
before
that
gambler
lunged
at
me
Mais
avant
que
ce
joueur
ne
se
précipite
sur
moi,
My
.44
took
his
life.
Mon
.44
lui
a
pris
la
vie.
Riverboat,
riverboat
Bateau
à
vapeur,
bateau
à
vapeur,
I
love
your
whistle's
wail
J'aime
le
sifflet
qui
hurle,
I
wish
I
was

on
the
riverboart
J'aimerais
être

sur

à

'Stead

jail.

Well,
they
came
on
the
boat
and
they
took
me
to
jail
Eh
bien,
ils
sont
venus
sur
le
bateau
et
m'ont
emmené
en
prison,
When
we
got
to
Tennessee
Quand
nous
sommes
arrivés
au
Tennessee.
A
gamblin′
man
has
very
few
friends
Un
joueur
n'a
que
très
peu
d'amis.
Guess
nobody
cared
for
me.
Je
suppose
que
personne
ne
se
souciait
de
moi.
So
I
might
be
here
for
a
many
long
years
Alors
je
risque
de
rester
ici
pendant
de
nombreuses
années,
But
if
I
ever
get
out
Mais
si
jamais
je
sors,
I′m
gonna
head
straight
for
that
levee
Je
vais
me
diriger
directement
vers
cette
digue
And
get
me
a
riverboat
headin'
south.
Et
trouver
un
bateau
à
vapeur
qui
se
dirige
vers
le
sud.
