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

Oh steamboat, woo steamboat,
Steamboat, oh steamboat
Take me back home to my love

Oh well, I've got to find out pretty baby
Do you want your Paddy back
I've got a whole lot of water to drink up
I stopped the fool dead in his tracks

Oh steamboat, woo steamboat,
Steamboat, please steamboat
Take me back home to my love

[instrumental]

You know Jonah lived a while
In the belly of the whale
David threw Goliath too
And there is nothing in this world
That will stop me pretty baby
I've gotta find my way back home to you

Oh steamboat, please steamboat,
Steamboat, oh steamboat
Take me back home to my love
[end]
