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
