(x2)
I hear a whistle, I hear a moan
Must be my baby coming home
She's been down in Tupelo singin' that riverboat song
She is a dancer, a river queen
She teach them gamblers most anything
She been down in Tupelo singin' that riverboat song
Chorus:
Many nights I spend alone
Many days there ain't nobody home
Many times I wish she was here
Hear that riverboat whistle blow, I know she's gettin' near
Hey river captain, bring my baby home
I get so lonesome since she been gone
She been down in Tupelo workin' that riverboat song
(x2)
Chorus:
Many nights I spend alone
Many days there ain't nobody home
Many times I wish she was here
Hear that riverboat whistle blow, I know she's gettin' near
Hey river captain, bring my baby home
I get so lonesome since she been gone
She been down in Tupelo singin' that riverboat song
