Steamboat

Your Promise to Be Mine - The Drifters

Written by：Lucas/Nesuhi Ertegun

You know I talked to the captain this morning

This morning

He said we're five hundred miles from shore

From shore

And if you don't get a telegram or a letter

Or letter

You know that mama don't want you no more

Oh steamboat

Oh steamboat

Steamboat oh steamboat

Take me back home to my love

We'll about to find out could it baby

Do you want to lay back

I got a whole lotta water to drink up

I've stopped to put it in his dress

Oh steamboat

Oh steamboat

Steamboat please steamboat

Take me back home to my love

You know John lived the wild

In the belly of the whale

David snowglide too

And there is nothing in this world

Will stop me put it baby

I gonna find my way back home to you

Oh steamboat

Please steamboat

Steamboat oh steamboat

Take me back home to my love
