Boathouse

Boathouse, coming down the river

Boathouse, carrying my son

Boathouse, carrying his mother

You know she's the only one

Caroline, my heart is aching

But I can't quit this time

And Caroline, my heartless drinking

I can't quit this time

So go on and wave goodbye

Haul out, get packing up your suitcase

Haul out, crying like the rain

Haul out, screaming, "This ain't living!"

And I know you're right

Caroline, I've been wondering

Why you didn't pick a better man

Caroline, my Mona Lisa still

Can't match your smile

So go on, wave goodbye

Boathouse, coming down the river

Boathouse, carrying my love

Boathouse, carry them to safety

Out from the Mississippi mud

Where I lost my love
