I hear a whistle I hear a moan Must be my baby coming home She’s been down in Tupelo singin’ that riverboat song She is a dancer a river queen She teach them gamblers most anything She been down in Tupelo singin’ that riverboat song Many nights I spend alone Many days there ain’t nobody home Many times I wish she was here Hear that riverboat whistle blow I know she’s gettin near Hey river captain bring my baby home I guess I’m lonesome since she been gone She been down in Tupelo workin’ that riverboat song Chorus LAST VERSE
