Steamboat lyrics

[Verse 1]
You know I talked to the captain this morning (this morning)
He said we're 500 miles from shore (from shore)
And if you don't get a telegram or a letter (a letter)
You know that woman don't want you no more

[Chorus]
Oh steamboat, woo-oo steamboat
Steamboat, oh steamboat
Take me back home to my love

[Verse 2]
(Shoo-wop doo-wop doo-wop)
Well I've got to find out, pretty baby
Do you want your daddy back?
I've got a whole lot of water to drink up
I'll stop the boat dead in its tracks

[Chorus]
Oh steamboat, woo-oo steamboat
Steamboat, please steamboat
Take me back home to my love

[Sax solo]

[Verse 3]
You know Jonah livеd awhile in the belly of thе whale
David slew Goliath too
And there is nothing in the world that will stop me pretty baby
I'm tryna find my way back home to you
[Chorus]
Oh steamboat, plea-ease steamboat
Steamboat, oh steamboat
Take me back home to my love
