Boat's Up The River

Lyrics as sung by Ola Belle Reed
We’ll a boat's up the river, won't come down Tell by the way that she's headed, Alabamy bound. Alabamy bound, Lordy, Alabamy bound Tell by the way that she's headed, Alabamy bound. [break] Well there ain’t but one thing that bothers my mind It's my old Waterbury, she won’t keep time No she won't keep time, won’t keep time It's my old Waterbury, she won’t keep time [break] Yeah that boat's up that river, won't come down Tell by the way that she's headed, Alabamy bound. She’s Alabamy bound, Alabamy bound Tell by the way that she's headed, Alabamy bound.
