RIVERBOAT BLUES Throw me a line And a new can of worms I thought you were mine I guess I was wrong If I'm clutching at straws I'm a drowning man The wait of the law keeps dragging me down Riverboat blues Regrets on the water and on the rudder Riverboat blues Don't tell my mother I lost her umbrella Still cannot swim Against the tide Will I still have this jinx Until I die The rocks of this riverbank Where here long before I was born The rocks of this riverbank Will be here long after I'm gone
