blue water highway - steamboat song lyrics

Loading...

born in the arms of the mississippi river
and raised up for gamblers and peddlers to use
she gave her heart to a poor riverboat man
down on his luck with nothing to lose

the captain was kind, though no man would have her
one season in the waters unfit for the trade
oh but he took the wheel and called her hiawatha
said, “i’ll never leave you my paddleboat maid.”

steam on steam on, you poor riverboat man
the waters are wide and troubles will fall
but one day her name will be told in a story
and one day your picture will hang on the wall

they plied the waters, captain and lady
down on the brazos where they could belong
old east columbia, up to belle’s landing
smoke blowing paddle wheels rolling along

steam on steam on, you poor riverboat man
the waters are wide and troubles will fall
but one day her name will be told in a story
and one day your picture will hang on the wall

once on a winter night with no moonlight
there in the shallows she ran aground
oh he cried hiawatha, my paddleboat maiden
i’ll never leave you love, i’d sooner drown

steam on steam on, you poor riverboat man
the waters are wide and troubles will fall
but one day her name will be told in a story
and one day your picture will hang on the wall
