Her accomodations are among the best
Give you three square meals a day 
                E
and a place to rest
Smell them big old plates of hot

Well it takes about a week to get 
                                 B7
back down that old Mississippi river
When you get on board you wish it 
             E
would last forever
Sit on the deck fish off the side 
    B7
all day
Watch the sunny southland roll by 
                      E
and dream your blues away
 A                      E
Heard about the ship Titanic
 A                       E
Sank it on the northern sea
 A                    E         
Ain't never took no boat ride
