Lyrics Casey Donahew Band – White Trash Bay

Text:

A house boat by it called the Gin Palace
Docked in White Trash Bay
We serve homemade tequila twenty three hours a day
We got hand rolled cigars

And a three foot driftwood bar
With Cap’n Earl’s Sarah Mae is the working girl

Now you can have warm flat beer
Or a jar of cherry moonshine
And you can have a shot of Copperhead Whiskey
You can have a pull of Thunderbird Wine
It’s always cash in hand
And you can still drink if you can still stand
Floating on a bayou barstool praying to God we don’t sink

And on this boat I’m the king of the sea
There ain’t nobody that don’t know me
Now I’m a riverboat bandit mean as hell known near and far
And if you hear a rumor I’m dead and gone
Know this legend will still live on
Throw me in the river with concrete boots
Like a bottle of whiskey I was bound to drown

We got a dirty blonde waitress her name’s Scarlet
Her red lipstick, she’s a sailors harlot
She can drop it down low and make ya head spin if the money gets right
She’s got a snake skin wallet on a wallet chain
Her faded tramp stamp says «Bring the Pain»
And she’ll be gone without warning in the morning, don’t fall in love

And on this boat I’m the king of the sea
There ain’t nobody that don’t know me
Now I’m a riverboat bandit mean as hell known near and far
And if you hear the rumor I’m dead and gone

Know this legend will still live on
Throw me in the river with concrete boots
Like a bottle of whiskey I was bound to drown

We play hundred dollar games of single rack nine ball
And you can throw bones if you like to watch dice fall
You can cut cards with Tennessee Slim we’ll play seven card stud
You better have a knife or a .44
Cause every night there’s blood on this floor
And there ain’t no law to get all the way to White Trash Bay

And on this boat I’m the king of the sea
There ain’t nobody that don’t know me
Now I’m a riverboat bandit mean as hell known near and far
And if you hear the rumor I’m dead and gone
You know this legend will still live on
Throw me in the river with concrete boots
Like a bottle of whiskey I was bound to drown

I hope they find me in the river with concrete boots
Cause like a bottle of whiskey I was bound to drown
