Standard (EADGBE)
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
Chorus
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
