And

thought
about
it
for
awhile
and
then
decided
on
revenge
Le
jeune
homme
y
a
pensé
un
moment,
puis
a
décidé
de
se
venger
And
he
said
I'm
gonna
ride
that
steamboat
Et
il
a
dit,
je
vais
monter
sur
ce
bateau
à
vapeur
That
steamboat
took
my
daddy
to
New
Orleans
Ce
bateau
à
vapeur
a
emmené
mon
père
à
la
Nouvelle-Orléans
He
got
killed
in
a
poker
game
downtown
Il
a
été
tué
dans

partie
de
poker
en
ville
Steamboat
took
my
daddy
to
New
Orleans
Le
bateau
à
vapeur
a
emmené
mon
père
à
la
Nouvelle-Orléans
Some
poky
Cajun
gambler
shot
him
down
Un
joueur
de
poker
cajun
l'a
abattu
Daddy
rode
that
steamboat,
didn't
take
me
along
Papa
a
monté
ce
bateau
à
vapeur,
il
ne
m'a
pas
emmené
avec
lui
And
I've
been
sittin'
there
thinking
all
day
long
Et
je
suis
resté
là
à
y
penser
toute
la
journée
And
I'm

du
mal
à
mon
père
Steamboat
took
my
daddy
to
New
Orleans
Le
bateau
à
vapeur
a
emmené
mon
père
à
la
Nouvelle-Orléans
Daddy
was
pretty
good
with
a
deck
of
cards
Papa
était
plutôt
doué
avec
un
jeu
de
cartes
He
said
that
he'd
get
rich
in
New
Orleans
Il
a
dit
qu'il
allait
devenir
riche
à
la
Nouvelle-Orléans
'Cause
the
game's
too
good
and
the
cash
is
pourin'
high
Parce
que
le
jeu
est
trop
bon
et
l'argent
coule
à
flots
But
you
can
win
no
money
when
the
deck
of
cards
you
stack
Mais
on
ne
peut
pas
gagner
d'argent
quand
le
jeu
de
cartes
est
truqué
And
the
steamboat
never
brought
my
daddy
back
Et
le
bateau
à
vapeur
n'a
jamais
ramené
mon
père
And
I'm
a
gonna
ride
that
steamboat,
take
my
gun
along
Et
je
vais
monter
sur
ce
bateau
à
vapeur,
prendre
mon
arme
avec
moi
I'll

du
mal
à
mon
père
Steamboat

pour
nous,
les
enfants
