The Big Boat

My little woman, my little woman
My little woman, she don't believe in me
My little woman, my little woman
My little woman, she don't believe in me
Now she left me early this mornin'
Went down on to Hadley

I believe I'll go over to the drugstore
Call my baby up on the telephone
I believe I'll go over to the drugstore
Call my baby up on the telephone
Now, I want you to give me Central
Tell me how long has the big boat been gone

I was standin' at the landing
Wonderin' what boat, Lord, boys must I ride
I was standin' at the landing
Wonderin' what boat, Lord, boys must I ride
Now, since I ain't no hurryin'
I believe I'll wait till the Katy flies

Once I was down by the landing
When the big boat, Lord, pulled of his load
Once I was down by the landing
When the big boat, Lord, pulled off his load
Now, that really hurt me to my heart
Where in the world did my baby go
