Lyric Big Boat

I went up the levee to pack some sacks
And I thought I d bring me some money back.
Big boat up the river and she can t come down.
My woman on the levee wearing a frown.

Big boat up the river and she can t come down
Big boat up the river and she can t come down
Big boat up the river and she can t come down
Big boat up the river and she can t come down

Somebody tell that woman
Somebody tell that woman
Somebody tell that woman
There s a big boat up the river and she can t come down

Big boat up the river and she can t come down
Big boat up the river blowing loud and fast
If she don t get to deep water she ll never land
And my woman on the levee shaking her hand,
She thinks she s gonna quit me for another man

Big boat up the river and she can t come down
Big boat up the river and she can t come down
Big boat up the river and she can t come down
Big boat up the river and she can t come down

Somebody tell that woman
Somebody tell that woman
Somebody tell that woman
There s a big boat up the river and she can t come down

Big boat up the river and she can t come down
Big boat up the river blowing loud and fast
And my woman on the levee feeling mighty sad
She thinks I got the money that I once had had
But when I get her home it s gonna be too bad.

Big boat up the river and she can t come down
Big boat up the river and she can t come down
Big boat up the river and she can t come down
Big boat up the river and she can t come down

Somebody tell that woman
Somebody tell that woman
Somebody tell that woman
There s a big boat up the river and she can t come down
