I used to be a riverboat captain Before the mutiny, woah Lord I used to be a down-home funk prescriber On the banks of the river Jubilee Eating lotus with my brother We spun a tale That left him at the bottom of the river And me in a local jail Build a boat out of wood and memories Watch it slip through the night We sailed our sad little vessel Going down to Saint Mary's County That's where I met your mother, dear Lay-lay-lay-lay-lay-lay-lady love With your eyes on fire Lady love With your eyes on fire If he won't dance with you I'm sure you can find my shoulder If he won't dance with you I'm sure you can find my shoulder SongtexteMorgan Creek had a lesson for me It seemed to drift down from above It said steer clear of that whiskey bottle Or you'll lose the ones you love Build a dream out of time and circumstance Dreamt it'd be about every night God sailed my sad little soul Going down to Saint Mary's County That's where I met your mother, dear Lay-lay-lay-lay-lay-lay-lady love I see my brother and band of the angels darling On the other side of that river bed Gonna drag me back to Jubilee my son Gonna drag me back to Jubilee Lay-lay-lay-lay-lay-lay-Lady love With your eyes on fire Lady love With your eyes on fire Aus Songtexte Mania
