Lyrics:
Tryin' to get to the other side
Yesterday is slowly fadin'
I've been waitin' now forever
For this ride
Ride the river in this boat, ride the river
Ride
ain't nobody else"
"Oh, he's a river boat man"
"River boat? What do you know about river boats?"
"Oh, I've made many a happy buck on them river boats
ain't nobody else"
"Oh, he's a river boat man"
"River boat? What do you know about river boats?"
"Oh, I've made many a happy buck on them river boats
Tryin' to get to the other side
Yesterday is slowly fadin'
I've been waitin' now forever
For this ride
Ride the river in this boat, ride the river
Ride
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
Time dies tryin to fly by
Got a grain of love in my eye
And if I
Tryin to beat each other if they can
But that river boat keeps on chuggin
a lot of pane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
Big wheel keep on turnin'
a lot of pane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
Big wheel keep on turnin'
I went up the levee to pack some sacks
And I thought I'd bring me some money back.
Big boat up the river and she can't come down.
My woman
Take me back to my boat, on the river
I need to go down, I need to come down
Take me back to my boat, on the river
And I won't cry out anymore
Havin' a nationwide festival for fourteen days and nights
Ah, there's fifty four bands on a river boat spot in the lights
Hundred of bands
a lot of pane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Take me back to my boat, on the river
I need to go down, I need to come down
Take me back to my boat, on the river
And I won't cry out anymore
a lot of cane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city till I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
The big wheels keep on turnin'...
a lot of tain down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
Big wheel keeps on turning
on this river
Really it's just a creek
But it's a river when I drink
So I'm drinking on my river boat
I could sail to the ocean
If the wind would
boat queen
Big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keeps on burnin'
I said, "Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river"
Well if you come down
to trim the sails (hallelujah)
(Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah)
The River Jordan is chilly
down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city, '
Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
If you
It's just gone noon, half-past monsoon
On the banks of the river Nile
Here comes the boat only half-afloat
Oarsman grins a toothless smile
Only just
to trim the sails (hallelujah)
(Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah)
The River Jordan is chilly
It's just gone noon
Half past monsoon
On the banks of the river Nile
Here comes the boat
Only half-afloat
Oarsman grins a toothless smile
Only
a lot of fun down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Night boat to Cairo!
It's just gone noon half past monsoon
On the banks of the river Nile
Here comes a boat only half afloat
Oarsman grins
