Boat's up the river, she won't come down
I believe it in my soul, that she is water-bound
Back her, and slack her, and bring her round
Just give me time to lay me down
Cause we're rolling and flowing around these hills
I must take my rest, but this river never will
Rolling and flowing to Cairo Town
Just give me time to lay me down
Come on Rosianna, the boat's lying low
On a sandy bar, out in the Ohio
Roustabouts are pulling, they're pulling mighty slow
I've got no time to lay me down
Cause we're rolling...
I work these steamboats. a dollar bill a day
I buy a dress for Rosianne and drink the rest away
Captain, he just told me to call lead line today
Lord, I need some time to lay me down
Cause we're rolling...
All of the rich folks out on the promenade
Twirl their parasols and sip their lemonade
I got hot steam to drink, I got smokestack for my shade
And I got no time to lay me down
Cause we're rolling...

The Sea Captain

There was a Sea Captain who sailed the salt sea
Let the wind blow high, blow low
I will die, I will die, the Sea Captain did cry
If I don't get that maid on the shore-o,
Shore-o, if I don't get that maid on the shore
The Captain had silver, the Captain had gold
The Captain had costly ware-o
All this he would give to his jolly ship's crew
If they'd row him that maid on the shore-o,
Shore-o, if they'd row him that maid on the shore
With little persuasion they got her on board
The weather being fine and so clear-o
And stowed her away in his cabin below
Farewell to all sorrow and care,
Care, farewell to all sorrow and care
He asked if she'd sing him a verse of a song
To drive away sorrow and care-o
Her voice was so neat, so mild and complete
She sang Captain and sailors to sleep,
Sleep, sang Captain and sailors to sleep
Then she took all his jewels, she took all his gold,
She took all his costly ware-o
Then fashioned an oar from the Captain's broadsword
And paddled her way to the shore-o,
Shore-o, and paddled herself to the shore
And when the Captain he awoke
All alone in despair-o
He sighed and he sobbed and he cried, I've been robbed
By that sweet-singing maid on the shore-o,
Shore-o, that sweet-singing maid on the shore
Oh were my men drunk or were my men mad
Or were my men deep in despair-o
To let you away from my cabin so gay
And to paddle your way to the shore-o,
Shore-o, and paddle away to the shore
Your men were not not drunk and your men were not mad
Your men were not deep in despair-o
I deluded your sailors as well as yourself
And again I'm a maid on the shore-o,
Shore-o, again I'm a maid on the shore

When the clouds are gone and the storm is past
Some kind of emptiness is left inside you
You thought this feeling wouldn’t last
But the sun still shines and the waters still flow
Someday that heart of yours will just stop aching
Tired of the pain
Let it go
Did you try all you could, you ask yourself now and then
Sometimes you think that it would all be different
If you could do it all again
But the sun still shines and the waters still flow
Somehow that world of yours will keep on turning
No one’s to blame
Let it go
So you go on living life; many joys are there to claim
You know it’s better that it’s all behind you
Sometimes you miss it all the same
But the sun still shines and the waters still flow
Inside that fire of yours will keep on burning
Tend to the flame
Let it go

This is an album filled with amazing music but it’s hard to top a track with a rocking moneymusk followed by...a hidden track(!!!) with one of my favorite tunes, Tom Kruskal’s, played by the ones who wrote it!
