  • The river is wide
    Deeper than deep
    On one side they're cryin'
    On the other they're asleep

    And it's all a dream
    Least it seems like to me
    Might never wake up
    Listen to the steam

    As the big wheel turns
    Are we headed up stream?
    The fog's too thick
    To really see

    All I know is I still float
    Slow boat
    Slow boat
    I got my coat

    I brought my chaps
    In case we land
    I'm gonna need 'em for that
    'Cause there might he a horse

    I might need to ride
    Carry your message
    Carry the flag
    To where we're goin'

    Or am I goin' alone
    Are you there
    Pick up the phone
    I can't make out what you wrote

    Slow boat
    Slow boat
    All I know is I still float
    All I know

    I don't know Writer/s: JEFFREY LEON BRIDGES, T-BONE BURNETT, THOMAS COBB
