Boat House

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
