Steamboat Slaves

Steamboat Slaves

By Paul McCann

 Cargo’s of lost souls drift down moon river .

Ship’s of fools you know.

Children of the kingdom

Bring deliverance to this cargo .

Steamboat slaves cry me a river .

Take these chains and set me free .

Dreamboats sail on down old man river .

He’s rolling out to sea  .

Drinking wine we slaves look at life

Through rose coloured glasses .

Sailed the years on the sea’s of tears

as life it goes then passes .

Steamboat slaves cry me a river .

Take these chains and set me free .

Dreamboats sail on down old man river .

He’s rolling out to sea  .

You can’t buy souls or sell slaves gold

on a steamboat duty free .

The price of slavery is high

But rewards are plain to see .

Steamboat slaves cry me a river .

Take these chains and set me free .

Dreamboats sail on down old man river .

He’s rolling out to sea  .
