The river's a bed of sweet berries and flowers 
Banks of thirsty lies 
(Please be careful) 
The stream is an eyeglass of heroes 
Bridged with bright replies 
The creek is a funnel of forgiveness 
Winning every prize 
Steamboat of living ever faithfully ride. 
 
The river's a dream in a waltz time 
Banks of jasper glaze 
(Have a ball and sing) 
The stream is a timepiece of children 
Bridged with crystal haze 
The creek is a trumpet of hard times 
Blowing tasty days 
Steamboat of living ever faithfully glide. 
 
Don't worry mister Fulton 
We'll get your steamboat rollin'.
