|
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 |
