"Steamboat" was written by Dennis Wilson, with lyrical assistance from Jack Rieley, and sung by Carl Wilson. It stands apart from most of Dennis's other creations, as it is not a passionate expression of Dennis's feelings (usually towards some female!). Rather, "Steamboat" bears the slightly ironic urging to Mr. Robert Fulton, inventer of the steamboat, to get his boat going...after picturesque, romantic descriptions of the rivers, creeks, and streams which the steamboat will assumedly spoil. A strong performance in this song from all parties, a fascinating listen. | Bruce Beatlefan | January 2, 2009 |
Lyrics
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'.
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'.
