Jacob Tremont - steamboat

On a steamboat from New Orleans
In a dream I had last night
Pretty Girl stands by the railing
Didn't catch her name at the time
To Saint Louis we are going
On a map her fingers trace the line
But she's a real slippery character
Disappears into the light

It's a long way up
Past Vicksburg in the night
It's a long way up
And you're not in your right mind

Try to find her in the ballroom
Crowd of faces pass me by
See the Captain drinking plum wine
See the bar-man pour him another
Grabs my arm and pulls me over
Says, "Hey son, ain't this the life?"

It's a long way up
Past Vicksburg in the night
It's a long way up
And I'm not in my right mind
