River Boat Song — текст песни (J. J. Cale)

I hear a whistle, I hear a moan

Must be my baby coming home

Shes been down in tupelo, singing that river boat song

She is a dancer, a river queen

Shell teach them gamblers most anything

Shes been down in tupelo, singing that river boat song

Many nights I spend alone

Many days there aint nobody home

Many times I wish she was here

Yeah, that river boat whistle blows

I know shes getting near

River captain, bring my baby home

I get so lonesome since shes been gone

Shes been down in tupelo, working the river boat song
