Oh I don't wanna be on this Island Queen
Steaming down this lazy river down to New Orleans
Oh so many days have been so hard on me
Come on Mister Captain take me where I want to be
Last night in my dreams we walked down Elizabeth Street
I could hear the bands all playing and feel you smile at me
I'm so tired of being so far away
Just a few more days and with my darlin' I will lay
Oh Miss Austin won't you please wait on me
Time passes oh so slowly and the rivers all I see
Don't you lose heart, don't you, give in to your fears
Just a few more days, and i'll be with you my dear
Oh this riverboat doesn't seem to move at all
I'm trying to fight this misery but I know that I will fall
If I only had a moment in your graceful embrace
Then I could let the angels to take me from this place
Oh Miss Austin won't you please wait on me
Time passes oh so slowly and the rivers all I see
Don't you lose heart, don't you, give in to your fears
Just a few more days, and I'll be with you my dear
Oh Miss Austin I'm so sorry to report
Seems he met his fiery end just a few days out of port
Nothing much remains of him but his ashes and some things
Though I know he'd want you, to have this wedding ring
Oh Miss Austin won't you please marry me
Time passes oh so slowly and your face is all I see
Don't you lose heart, don't you, give in to your fears
Just a few more days, and i'll be with you my dear
