Lyrics:

Take a ride on a riverboat
Gonna leave and that's all she wrote
Paddle wheel down to New Orleans
Gonna find me a brand new queen

In the spring when
her neck a golden locket
There stood my southern belle

Lay back we're riding on the Blues River
On board the Delta Queen
Paddle wheel steamers
belles and ev'ry roustabout. I'd listen to them paddle wheels and hear the leadsman shout!

Chorus:
Mark Twain, it's two fathoms deep below. Mark Twain,
belles and ev'ry roustabout. I'd listen to them paddle wheels and hear the leadsman shout!

Chorus:
Mark Twain, it's two fathoms deep below. Mark Twain,
Well, I built me a raft and she's ready for floatin'
Ol' Mississippi, she's callin' my name
Catfish are jumpin', that paddle wheel thumpin'
Black
Well, I built me a raft and she's ready for floatin'
Ol' Mississippi, she's callin' my name
Catfish are jumpin', that paddle wheel thumpin'
Black
Well, I built me a raft and she's ready for floatin'
Ol' Mississippi, she's callin' my name
Catfish are jumpin', that paddle wheel thumpin'
Black
Well, I built me a raft and she's ready for floatin'
Ol' Mississippi, she's callin' my name
Catfish are jumpin'
That paddle wheel thumpin'
Black
the world keeps spinnin' like a paddle wheel
Rollin' for the broken-hearted waitin' on the heal

You know I'm not in the clear
You are not in the clear
Hear that whistle, there goes that bell,
That means we're on our way.
All aboard boy, I'm feelin' swell,
This is my happy day.
Paddle wheel
Wouldn't be home without the muddy water rolling
Paddle wheel skippin in the Mississippi dew



Oh the river run wide, run deep, run muddy
Oh the river
knew we would 
High above like a spider 
The colors turning brown 
Freeways passing by us 
I took yr hand and we knelt down 
Wheels paddle wheels
my guitar on 

Picture me in the saddle tall
That sunset a big red burning ball
Or blowin' steam movin' paddle wheel 
Down that river the seconds I
Wouldn't be home without the muddy water rolling
Paddle wheel skippin in the Mississippi dew



Oh the river run wide, run deep, run muddy
Oh the river
the dentist has
An office full of colored glass
A garden with a paddle wheel
And funny plants for eye appeal
And though he watches them with care
I've never
But you can't shut the party down
Ain't no drownin' the spirit
Callin' the children home
 
Was it the paddle wheels of commerce make you move
when you were leaving,
It was just a quick goodbye
I didn't even wonder for how long
The paddle wheels are turning,
The steamboat whistles cry
I
Tonight I'll board the Delta Queen
Abound for New Orleans
And again I'll get that feeling that I'm free
Her paddle wheels will churn
And her smoke
without the feel of the paddle wheel I'd never be at home
Well I must go for I just heard the river call this rambler
My mama was a Dodge City dance hall
Clearwater haze
Clearwater haze
Last trapper of Waterways

Riding the train and then the paddle wheel
Goin' up north to where the steel meets
Ice cream cakes and lemonade
Paddle wheel churns away
Sitting on the Riverboat
Watching whirlpools in the waves

I like to dream all day long
Dozing
Tonight I'll board the Delta Queen
bound for New Orleans
And again I'll get that feelin' that I'm free
Her paddle wheels will churn
And her smoke
the Red Norway Pine 
and visit the Twin Cities where you¹ll have a good time. 

In Mississippi you can take a steamboat ride 
Watch the paddle wheel turn
you
This city gonna rectify you
It’s music gonna funktify you
New Orleans  New Orleans  New Orleans

On a paddle wheel river boat
A calliope plays
