the river's a bed of sweet berries and flowers
the stream is an eyeglass of heroes
bridged with bright replies
the creek is a funnel of forgiveness
steamboat of living ever faithfully ride. the river's a dream in a waltz time
the stream is a timepiece of children
bridged with crystal haze
the creek is a trumpet of hard times
steamboat of living ever faithfully glide. don't worry mister fulton
we'll get your steamboat rollin'.
