The big boat is at the landing And my baby is waitin' to step on board The big boat is at the landing
And my baby is waitin' to step on board Yes, I know the little girl is leavin' Oh but the reason why I just don't know
I was standin' at the landing Crying sweet thing please don't go I was standin' at the landing Crying baby doll please don't go Well, because you know I love you Yes, I love you, woman I love you with all my heart and soul
You know I got to find my baby If it takes a lifetime to track her down I got to find my baby If it take a lifetime to track her down I'm gonna stay on the trail of my little sweet thing Keep her just like an old bloodhound
