Lyrics:

(J.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 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
