River Boat Song

Lyrics

I hear a whistle, I hear a moan

Must be my baby coming home

She's been down in Tupelo,

Singing that river boat song

She is a dancer, a river queen

She'll teach them gamblers most anything

She's been down in Tupelo,

Singing that river boat song

Many nights I spend alone

Many days there ain't nobody home

Many times I wish she was here

Yeah, that river boat whistle blows

I know she's getting near

River captain, bring my baby home

I get so lonesome since she's been gone

She's been down in Tupelo,

Working the river boat song
