Steamboat Whistle Blues - John Hartford[00:00:00]

Well I started out to be a towboat man[00:00:11]

But I never got the hang of a ratchet bar[00:00:13]

I was a-growin up a-deckin in the[00:00:15]

Illinois trade with coal dust in my ear[00:00:17]

I got stuck in the ice on Christmas Eve[00:00:20]

And I froze my ass it's true[00:00:22]

Just a shiv'rin and a-shakin[00:00:25]

With a Down South case of them[00:00:26]

Steamboat whistle blues[00:00:27]

Oh Captain Way I'm sorry my hat is off to you[00:00:30]

You've been a-hanging out by the old cook stove[00:00:35]

With the steamboat whistle blues[00:00:37]

Well way up North I called your phone[00:01:00]

But I didn't get no one to answer[00:01:02]

So I opened up the window and I smoked a little bit[00:01:04]

And I watched the cars go by[00:01:07]

I'm gonna hunt you up and ask you[00:01:09]

If you found out anything new[00:01:11]

Or are you a-hangin to the best you had[00:01:14]

With the steamboat whistle blues[00:01:16]

I've been right here since nine o'clock[00:01:19]

And believe you me that's true[00:01:21]

Just a-lookin at the water ways churning[00:01:24]

With the steamboat whistle blues[00:01:26]

Well the city's growing up where it looks all square[00:01:48]

Like a crossword puzzle on the landscape[00:01:51]

It looks like an electric shaver now[00:01:53]

Where the courthouse used to be[00:01:55]

The grass is all synthetic[00:01:58]

And we don't know for sure about the food[00:02:00]

The only thing we know for sure is them[00:02:02]

Steamboat whistle blues[00:02:05]

I'd sit and watch my TV[00:02:08]

If I thought I could trust the news[00:02:10]

About the only thing I trust these days[00:02:12]

Is them steamboat whistle blues[00:02:14]

Well "far out" Johnny well I heard him say[00:02:37]

As he stretched out back on the water bed[00:02:39]

Bluegrass music is a thing of the past[00:02:42]

And the same for rock and roll[00:02:44]

And I loaned him two or three dollars[00:02:46]

And he gave me the latest news[00:02:48]

And he left me here with a Rolling Stone[00:02:51]

And the steamboat whistle blues[00:02:53]

I'll tear off down the river some day before I'm through[00:02:56]

Then come back here and see it out[00:03:01]

With the steamboat whistle blues[00:03:03]
