Lyrics
The Boatman:
You’re a man on a boat all the time
Are you gonna kiss the ground
A man on a boat all around
You’ve lived the life of a thousand men
A captain and a sailor
A mover and blood seller
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
You’r e renaissance boat driving man
You got blue blue water
A fancy girl with pretty skin
Are you gonna drown yourself in that boat you’re in
Cause you’re a drinker
you’re a smoker
a looker
so what you gonna do
yeah yeah
yeah yeah
yeah yeah
Whisper the way, how you take it away
On that boat, sweet talkin’ man
Write all your stories of water and women
From life on that boat while you can
Yeah, yeah
