The river's a bed of sweet berries and flowers Banks of thirsty lies (Please be careful) The stream is an eyeglass of heroes Bridged with bright replies The creek is a funnel of forgiveness Winning every prize Steamboat of living ever faithfully ride.
The river's a dream in a waltz time Banks of jasper glaze (Have a ball and sing) The stream is a timepiece of children Bridged with crystal haze The creek is a trumpet of hard times Blowing tasty days Steamboat of living ever faithfully glide.
Don't worry mister Fulton We'll get your steamboat rollin'.
