Текст песни: Steamboat + перевод

I woke up on a steam boat,

With power in my hands.

I looked out the captain’s quarters,

To see a southern land.

Well old man river is running,

To meet his wife the sea.

And there ain’t nobody steering,

For the current’s course is free.

Yeah the current’s course is free.

Oh steamboat carry me,

To my delta home.

Steamboat carry me,

I got rivers in my soul.

When we finally reach New Orleans,

I’m gonna dance with all the ghosts.

I’m gonna swim in eerie waters,

And drink to every toast.

On the bank of the Mississippi,

There’s a pimp suit preacher man,

Saying come into the water,

For the kingdom is at hand.

Yeah the kingdom is at hand.

Oh steamboat carry me,

To my delta home.

Steamboat carry me,

I got rivers in my soul.

In the finely layered darkness,

Of the warmest August night,

I skipped along the cobblestone,

And danced in all your light.

When I came upon a mansion,

I climbed up all it’s stairs,

But in every mirror that I looked in,

I saw God standing there.

Yeah I saw God standing there.

Oh Steamboat carry me,

To my delta home.

Steamboat carry me,

I got rivers in my soul.

Oh Steamboat carry me,

To my delta home.

Steamboat carry me,

I got rivers in my soul.

I got rivers in my soul, oh Lord

I got rivers in my soul.
