The river is wide Deeper than deep On one side they're cryin' on the other they're asleep And it's all a dream Least it seems like to me Might never wake up Listen to the steam As the big wheel turns Are we headed up stream? The fog's too thick To really see All I know is I still float Slow boat Slow boat I got my coat I brought my chaps In case we land I'm gonna need 'em for that 'Cause there might he a horse I might need to ride Carry your message Carry the flag To where we're goin' Or am I goin' alone Are you there Pick up the phone I can't make out what you wrote Slow boat Slow boat All I know is I still float All I know ... ... I don't know
