JJ Cale - River Boat Song Lyrics






I hear a whistle, I hear a moan
Must be my baby coming home
She's been down in Tupelo
Singing that river boat song

She is a dancer, a river queen
She'll teach them gamblers most anything
She's been down in Tupelo
Singing that river boat song

Many nights I spend alone
Many days there ain't nobody home
Many times I wish she was here
Yeah, that river boat whistle blows

I know she's getting near
River captain, bring my baby home
I get so lonesome since she's been gone
She's been down in Tupelo
Working the river boat song

Many nights I spend alone
Many days there ain't nobody home
Many times I wish she was here
Yeah, that river boat whistle blows

I know she's getting near
River captain, bring my baby home
I get so lonesome since she's been gone
She's been down in Tupelo
Working the river boat song

    sali su un auto, da solo, abbandona tutti i tuoi problemi, non pensare al dopo, e parti senza sapere dove vai,
    lo deciderai giorno per giorno; metti questa canzone sull'autoradio......eh....una meraviglia.
    Per la strada troverai compagnia...!!!

    This man's music is so good, i could listen it all day long and id still enjoy those sounds

  9. C.... B....

    I am trying to collect all his songs and play them myself on the guitar. Its easy to play but hard to get it really right. But I think as long as its done with him in mind its ok.

    C.... B....

    I love this laidback sound. He was one of my favourites. Said to say, that he has passed away. Rest in Peace J. J. Cale.

    River Boat SongJ. J. Cale I hear a whistle, I hear a moan
    Must be my baby coming home
    She's been down in Tupelo,
    Singing that river boat song
    She is a dancer, a river queen
    She'll teach them gamblers most anything
    She's been down in Tupelo,
    Singing that river boat song
    Many nights I spend alone
    Many days there ain't nobody home
    Many times I wish she was here
    Yeah, that… I hear a whistle, I hear a moan
    Must be my baby coming home
    She's been down in Tupelo,
    Singing that river boat song
    She is a dancer, a river queen
    She'll teach them gamblers most anything
    She's been down in Tupelo,
    Singing that river boat song
    Many nights I spend alone
    Many days there ain't nobody home
    Many times I wish she was here
    Yeah, that river boat whistle blows
    I know she's getting near
    River captain, bring my baby home
    I get so lonesome since she's been gone
    She's been down in Tupelo,
