The Big Boat Songtext
von Charlie Musselwhite

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 the Harley

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 landin′
Wonderin' what boat, Lord, boys must I ride
I was standin′ at the landin'
Wonderin′ what boat, Lord, boys must I ride

Now, since I ain't in no hurry
I believe I′ll wait 'til the Katy flies

Once I was down by the landin'
When the big boat, Lord, pulled of his load
Once I was down by the landin′
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?
