[Intro]
I got off the riverboat in New Orleans
In the spring of '82
I walked into a gambling house
As gamblers often do
[Verse 1]
I had myself a drink and I joined in a poker game
The dealer was a woman, so I asked her for her name
She smiled at me so pretty, but a hush fell over the place
As a big man crossed the table, stood up and slapped my face
[Chorus]
Bowie knife, bowie knife
Long, glitterin' steel
If my gun don't take your evil life
You can bet, my bowie knife will
[Verse 2]
I had my choice of weapons on which would depend my life
I chose a set of pistols and a long old bowie knife
I met him by the river by the light of the rising sun
Was I prepared to fight him? I feared my time had come
[Chorus]
Bowie knife, bowie knife
Long, glitterin' steel
If my gun don't take your evil life
You can bet, my bowie knife will
I got off the riverboat in New Orleans
In the spring of '82
I walked into a gambling house

Long, glitterin' steel
If my gun don't take your evil life
You can bet, my bowie knife will
