River Boat Song Lyrics - Travel-log - J. J. Cale

(J.J. Cale) 

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 

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
