lyrics

Little boy found,
little boy lost,
down by the river,
away from the coast,
in a little row boat,
diamond shaped,
taking a nap
and day dreaming away.
 
Open my eyes,
what do I see?
Riverboat man's
staring at me,
moving slowly
his big strong hand,
draining the water
with a rusty can.
 
And I can tell he's into something
good enough to tell me nothing.
It doesn't matter what we do,
he's always moaning river blues.
 
Looky here, boy,
this is a bait,
put it on the hook,
now we gotta wait,
keep it still,
see what you do,
we might catch a black bass
and a catfish, too...
 
And I can tell he's into something
good enough to tell me nothing.
Sweat is dripping from his head
and clinks the guilded wooden leg.
 
I said “why is it so?”,
he said “just because”.
And he sang “Everybody knows somebody,
everybody knows somebody from Badajoz”.
 
Tied with a rope,
tied to a tree,
riverboat dances
in the middle of the stream.
I'm holding the rod
as good as I can,
keeping an eye
on the riverboat man.
 
And I can tell
he's into something
good enough to tell me nothing.
It doesn't matter what we do,
he's always moaning river blues.
Everybody knows somebody...
Everybody knows somebody from Badajoz.
