| Lyrics: | Well, I dreamed I was a gypsy riding the land
With a tambourine and a gypsy queen
And a
rainbow caravan
Happy old land sailor, yeah, that's what I want to be
Stealing diamonds from
the rich men to throw in the sea
Singing look toward the land
'cause the land holds the
key
Keep an eye on the land
And an eye on the sea
Yes, I dreamed I was the cabin
boy
On an American Clipper line
Stealing cargo to colonies of South Caroline
Watering
flowers for the captain that they may not wilt
On the best ol' Clipper Donald McKay ever
built
Singing look toward the land
'cause the land is the key
Singing keep an eye
on the land
And an eye on the sea
Yes I dreamed I was a captain of a river
queen
Caressing Mississippi waters down to New Orleans
Just a riverboat captain, that's what
I want to be
Won't you come on now, I'd let you ride my mama for free
Singing look
toward the river
'Cause the river's the key
Keep an eye on the river
And an eye on the
sea
And you know it's all right
Where the river flows, I'll follow
Where the
sun shines, I will go
Mama take my hand, I want to bring you to the land
Where the wild wind
blows
And the mountains grow
And the people know
Yes, they know
You must let the
river flow
Let the river flow
Where the river flows, I will follow
Where the sun
shines, I must go
And mama, take my hand, I want to bring you the land
Where the wild wind
blows
And the people know
And the mountains grow
Yes, they grow
And the river
flows
Gotta let the river flow
Yes I dreamed I was a river
Flowing free
And I
dream |
