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
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 Explain Request ×
