From this day on I own my father's gun

We dug his shallow grave beneath the sun

I laid his broken body down below the southern land

It wouldn't do to bury him where any Yankee stands

I'll take my horse and I'll ride the Northern plain

To wear the colour of the greys and join the fight again

And I'll rest until I know the cause is fought and won

From this day on until I die I'll wear my father's gun

I'd like to know where the riverboat sails tonight

To New Orleans well that's just fine alright

Cause there's fightin' there and the company needs men

So slip us a rope and sail on round the bend

As soon as this is over we'll go home

To plant the seeds of justice in our bones

To watch the children growin' and see the women sewin'

There'll be laughter when the bells of freedom ring

I'd like to know where the riverboat sails tonight

To New Orleans well that's just fine alright

Cause there's fightin' there and the company needs men

All are there all are there

Slip us a rope and sail on round the bend

I'd like to know where the riverboat sails tonight

To New Orleans well that's just fine alright

Cause there's fightin' there and the company needs men

All are there all I said

Slip us a rope and sail on round the bend

Oh ho I'd like to know where the riverboat riverboat sails tonight

To New Orleans well that's just fine alright

Cause there's fightin' there and the company needs men

All are there all I said

Slip us a rope and sail on round the bend

I'd like to know where the riverboat riverboat riverboat sails tonight

To New Orleans well that's just fine that's just fine alright

Cause there's fightin' there and the company needs men

All are there

So slip us a rope and sail on round the bend

I'd like to know where the riverboat sails tonight

To New Orleans well that's just fine that's just fine alright

Cause there's fightin' there and the company needs men

All are there all I said

Slip us a rope and sail on round the bend

The riverboat sails tonight

That's just fine alright

Ohh slip us a rope

Sail on round sail on round sail on round sail on round

Sail on round the bend

The riverboat sails tonight

All are there

That's just fine alright
