"Big Boat Across Oklahoma"

Big boat sailing out across Oklahoma
On the manmade river and canal
Hey hey cowboy you better watch out
For the riverboat's sailing and will steal your gal

I never conceived or ever believed that in my life I'd see
That in my life I'd see a big boat
Sailing up the Cimarron river out on the lone prairie
But it gives my heart a thrill to see the big boat
Steaming through the jungle across the Oklahoma hills

Big boat sailing out across Oklahoma...

[Fiddle]

The big boats breeze through the Florida Keys
And the Gulf of Mexico
Then head north from New Orleans through he Louisiana bayou
Turn left at the Arkansas
On the interstate waterway across Oklahoma up to Wichita

Big boat sailing out across Oklahoma...
