Gum Tree Canoe

Gum Tree Canoe

(الألبوم: Gum Tree Canoe - 1984)

On Tombigbee river so bright I was born
In a hut made of husks of the tall yellow corn
And there I first met with my Julia so true
And I rowed her about in our gum-tree canoe

Singing row away row, o'er the waters so blue
Like a feather we'll float in our gum tree canoe
Singing row away row, o'er the waters so blue
Like a feather we'll float in our gum tree canoe

All the day in the field the soft cotton I hoe
I think of my Julia and sing as I go
Oh, I catch her a bird with a wing of true blue
And at night sail her round in our gum-tree canoe

Singing row away row, o'er the waters so blue
Like a feather we'll float in our gum tree canoe
Singing row away row, o'er the waters so blue
Like a feather we'll float in our gum tree canoe

With my hands on the banjo and toe on the oar
I sing to the sound of the river's soft roar
While the stars they look down at my Julia so true
And dance in her eye in our gum-tree canoe

Singing row away row, o'er the waters so blue
Like a feather we'll float in our gum tree canoe
Singing row away row, o'er the waters so blue
Like a feather we'll float in our gum tree canoe

One night the stream bore us so far away
That we couldn't come back so we thought we'd just stay
Oh, we spied a tall ship with a flag of true blue
And it took us in tow with our gum-tree canoe

Singing row away row, o'er the waters so blue
Like a feather we'll float in our gum tree canoe
Singing row away row, o'er the waters so blue
Like a feather we'll float in our gum tree canoe
