The Big Boat Lyrics

(Sonny Boy Williamson I (John Lee))



The big boat is at the landing

And my baby is waitin' to step on board

The big boat is at the landing

And my baby is waitin' to step on board

Yes, I know the little girl is leavin'

Oh but the reason why I just don't know





I was standin' at the landing

Crying sweet thing please don't go

I was standin' at the landing

Crying baby doll please don't go

Well, because you know I love you

Yes, I love you, woman

I love you with all my heart and soul





You know I got to find my baby

If it takes a lifetime to track her down

I got to find my baby

If it take a lifetime to track her down

I'm gonna stay on the trail of my little sweet thing

Keep her just like an old bloodhound
