Here comes that boat floating down the river
|
The south bound channel on the west side
|
It looks like the captain's pulling over
|
And I'm bound to take a ride
|
Take a ride
|
|
Well down at the dock I paid my fare
|
I paid only one way not two
|
I don't know where but I'll get there
|
And on my way I'll sing this tune
|
And when the night falls down on the southern city
|
And there's nothing left to do but play
|
|
Well opportunity is beckoning to me
|
And I'll make my way back home some day
|
|
Don't you know my daddy was a real hard worker
|
For us he did all he could do
|
Worked all day for the white collar man
|
So he could send us off to school
|
But I feel just like cryin
|
Because I didn't play by all his rules
|
|
Well opportunity is beckoning to me
|
And I'll make my way back home some day
|
