Roustabout

A D A The fog is rolling down the river E A Dark clouds hangin’ mighty low D A It’s a long long way from old St. Louis E A To the Gulf of Mexico D A I make my home on the Mississippi E I’m a roustabout on a Steamboat line D A We hit the deck on a Monday morning E A Gonna make the dock on a Saturday night D A E D A E A D A Had me a girl way down in Vicksburg E A I used to sob every time she passed D A Til she took off with a riverboat gambler E A In a new silk suit and a little mustache D A I make my home on the Mississippi E I’m a roustabout on a Steamboat line D A We hit the deck on a Monday morning E A Gonna make the dock on a Saturday night D A E D A E A D A Now when I die woun't you do me one favour E A Don’t bury me down in the cold cold ground D A Just take me out to the middle of the river E A Throw me over and point me south D A I make my home on the Mississippi E I’m a roustabout on a Steamboat line D A We hit the deck on a Monday morning E A Gonna make the dock on a Saturday night D A E D A E A D A I make my home on the Mississippi E I’m a roustabout on a Steamboat line D A We hit the deck on a Monday morning E A Gonna make the dock on a Saturday night E A Gonna make the dock on a Saturday night
