i met her on a riverboat on a moonlit night
with the moon above and the stars so bright
the paddle it was turning we began to roll
then i fell in love with her body heart and soul.

she wore a bright red dress make up on her face
sent the heart in me to a different place
we sailed down the river as the moon began to shine
from that moment on i knew she would be mine.

riverboat love right there in my soul
made me feel so happy made me feel so whole
with moon above that was shining bright
on the river boat i fell in love that night

when i held her hand my heart began to soar
such a lovely feeling i never felt before
we sat there together in the moonlight breeze
a peaceful easy feeling put my mind at ease

watched the clouds above floating in the sky
we held each other tight as they were rolling bye
as we rolled along each roll i loved her more
with a loving feeling i never felt before.

riverboat love right there in my soul
made me feel so happy made me feel so whole
with moon above that was shining bright
on the river boat i fell in love that night
