Big Boat

I went up the levee to pack some sacks
 And I thought I'd bring me some money back
 Big boat up the river, and she can't come down
 My woman on the levee wearing a frown
 Big boat up the river, and she can't come down
 Big boat up the river, and she can't come down
 Big boat up the river, and she can't come down
 Big boat up the river, and she can't come down
 Somebody tell that woman
 Somebody tell that woman
 Somebody tell that woman
 There's a big boat up the river, and she can't come down
 Big boat up the river, and she can't come down
 Big boat up the river, blowing loud and fast
 If she don't get to deep water, she'll never land
 And my woman on the levee shaking her hand
 She thinks she's gonna quit me for another man
 Big boat up the river, and she can't come down
 Big boat up the river, and she can't come down
 Big boat up the river, and she can't come down
 Big boat up the river, and she can't come down
 Somebody tell that woman
 Somebody tell that woman
 Somebody tell that woman
 There's a big boat up the river, and she can't come down
 Big boat up the river, and she can't come down
 Big boat up the river blowing loud and fast
 And my woman on the levee feeling mighty sad
 She thinks I got the money that I once have had
 But when I get her home, it's gonna be too bad
 Big boat up the river, and she can't come down
 Big boat up the river, and she can't come down
 Big boat up the river, and she can't come down
 Big boat up the river, and she can't come down
 Somebody tell that woman
 Somebody tell that woman
 Somebody tell that woman
 There's a big boat up the river, and she can't come down
