Letra de Blues River

An out of town gawker In the lobby Of the old Peabody Hotel By the wishing well I threw in my quarter Watched it shining in the water And wished for a southern belle It must have hypnotized me 'Cuz suddenly beside me True as life Just real as hell Long dress with lace pockets Around her neck a golden locket There stood my southern belle Lay back we're riding on the Blues River On board the Delta Queen Paddlewheel steamers And beautiful dreamers All the way to New Orleans And all along the delta night There's pyramids of cotton As far as the eye can see Right now we're strangers But there's no danger That we will be By New Orleans Lay back we're riding on the Blues River On board the Delta Queen Paddlewheel steamers And beautiful dreamers All the way to New Orleans Lay back we're riding on the Blues River Her majesty the queen Right now we're strangers But there's no danger That we will be By New Orleans Lay back we're riding on the Blues River On board the Delta Queen Paddlewheel steamers Beautiful dreamers
