LYRICS: Under the dock in my hometown Runs a river of coffee brown Bank to bank each and every day The boatman journeys while the children play Hes taking passengers here and there The river can take him everywhere Will never ask anyone for pay If you listen to his stories while the boat it sways Its the boatman A penny for the boatman Its the boatman Hell get you to the shore So youre safe and warm and out of the storm Was a very long time ago My grandfathers boat rocked to and fro When the winds pulled up all the trees Crashed his boat and pinned down both his knees My grandfather knew without a doubt The river had won there was no way out Until the boatman threw his line Pulled him out just in time Chorus His hands are big and strong On the boat where they belong Early morning to late afternoon And then he floats his boat to sleep Just behind the moon Chorus (2x) Flowing water underneath His firmly planted feet Another satisfying day As the boatman Sails away Its raining pennies, pennies for the boatman
