There a light across the river and it's making me dream It's the last of the riverboats and it's getting up steam I can see it through the willows, I can hear it round the bend The birds fly up and they're saying It won't be back again
And the river boat knows just where the river goes And someone throws me a line It's the last of the river boats going home
I dreamed I took a journey From Echuca to the lake Drinkin on the promenade deck Till I couldn't keep awake I woke up with a vision from a different time When the road was a river and the riverboat was mine
And the Riverboat knows just where the river goes And someone throws me a line The steam whistle moans, the paddle wheel groans And the water shows me a sign It's the last of the riverboats going home It's the last of the riverboats going home
Meanwhile we're living, lives we all know Paying our tax and breaking our backs With nothing left to show Thinking of a future, of a day that'll come for sure We'll take the riverboat and we'll fire it up once more
And the Riverboat knows just where the river goes And someone throws me a line The steam whistle moans, the paddle wheel groans And the water shows me a sign It's the last of the riverboats going home
And the Riverboat knows just where the river goes And someone throws me a line The steam whistle moans, the paddle wheel groans And the water shows me a sign It's the last of the riverboats going home
