I used to be a riverboat captain

Before the mutiny, woah Lord

I used to be a down-home funk prescriber

On the banks of the river Jubilee



Eating lotus with my brother

We spun a tale

That left him at the bottom of the river

And me in a local jail



Build a boat out of wood and memories

Watch it slip through the night

We sailed our sad little vessel



Going down to Saint Mary's County

That's where I met your mother, dear

Lay-lay-lay-lay-lay-lay-lady love

With your eyes on fire

Lady love

With your eyes on fire



If he won't dance with you

I'm sure you can find my shoulder

If he won't dance with you

I'm sure you can find my shoulder



Morgan Creek had a lesson for me

It seemed to drift down from above

It said steer clear of that whiskey bottle

Or you'll lose the ones you love



Build a dream out of time and circumstance

Dreamt it'd be about every night

God sailed my sad little soul



Going down to Saint Mary's County

That's where I met your mother, dear

Lay-lay-lay-lay-lay-lay-lady love



I see my brother and band of the angels darling

On the other side of that river bed

Gonna drag me back to Jubilee my son

Gonna drag me back to Jubilee



Lay-lay-lay-lay-lay-lay-Lady love

With your eyes on fire

Lady love

With your eyes on fire
