WISH I HAD A BOAT

THE RAIN COMES DOWN, THE OLD WIND BLOWS,

RIVER RISES AND THE WATER FLOWS.

WHERE IT’S HEADIN’ I DON’T KNOW,

WISH I HAD A BOAT SO I COULD GO.

SET THE SAIL INTO THE WIND,

DON’T THINK I’LL BE BACK AGAIN,

I’LL TAKE MY DOG, HE’S MY BEST FRIEND.

SAIL AWAY TO THE RIVER’S END.

I’M THE CAPTAIN OF MY DESTINY,

FREE TO SAIL THE SEVEN SEAS.

TAKE ME WHERE THE WATER FLOWS.

WISH I HAD A BOAT SO I COULD GO.

THE MOUNTAINS’ FULL FROM THE WINTER SNOW,

WATERFALL TUMBLES TO THE RIVER BELOW,

WHERE IT’S HEADIN’ I DON’T KNOW.

WISH I HAD A BOAT SO I COULD GO.

USE THE LUMBER NEAR THE RIVER SLOPE,

GONNA BUILD THE FINEST BOAT,

PLANK IT TIGHT, MAKE SURE IT FLOATS,

PACK MY DREAMS AND ALL MY HOPES.

I’LL SAY FAREWELL TO THIS ONE HORSE TOWN,

CRUISE THE RIVER WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN,

CATCH THE WIND WHEN I’M OCEAN BOUND.

SAIL AWAY WITHOUT A SOUND.
