G C

(Verse 1)

C G

Down by the river where the big boats go by.

Each day you could see them as evening was nigh.

They planned to be married at the first sign

of spring.

And Jim would take Cindy to see New Orleans.

(Verse 2)

The town folks would smile as they sat there alone.

Jim talked of the day he'd make Cindy his own.

He saved his money to buy her a ring and take his

sweet Cindy to see New Orleans.

(Interlude)

G C

(Verse 3)

D A

One day a riverboat gambler chanced by and captured

her heart with his sweet words and lies.

He told her, come with me, and you'll be a queen.

So, they left together to see New Orleans.

(Verse 4)

Each day you can see Jim though years have gone by.

Down by the river where the big boats go by.

She wrote she'd return at the first sign of spring.

He's waiting for Cindy to see New Orleans.

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
