Slow Boat

The river is wide

Deeper than deep

On one side they're cryin'

on the other they're asleep

And it's all a dream

Least it seems like to me

Might never wake up

Listen to the steam

As the big wheel turns

Are we headed up stream?

The fog's too thick

To really see

All I know is I still float

Slow boat

Slow boat

I got my coat

I brought my chaps

In case we land

I'm gonna need 'em for that

'Cause there might he a horse

I might need to ride

Carry your message

Carry the flag

To where we're goin'

Or am I goin' alone

Are you there

Pick up the phone

I can't make out what you wrote

Slow boat

Slow boat

All I know is I still float

All I know ...

... I don't know
