I'm floating in my boat
Not the one I used to fish in
But the boat I sit in wishin'

Really it's just a creek

But it's a river when I drink
A augmentedA
So I'm drinking on my river boat

I could sail to the ocean
If the wind would come and get me

When it doesn't, well she don't

Just ask that old pirate
A augmentedA
That's floatin' on my river boat
