Lyrics I See a Boat on the River (7" Version) - Boney M.
He
left
on
a
boat
Just
to
follow
a
dream
He
had
to
find.
You
can't
hold
a
man
When
he
follows
a
dream
That's
on
his
mind.
I
see
a
boat
on
the
river,
It's
sailing
away
Down
to
the
ocean,
Where
to
I
can't
say.
Boat
on
the
river,
It's
sailing
away
Down
to
the
ocean,
Where
to
I
can't
say.
I
waited
for
him
Such
a
very
long
time,
Don't
Know
what
for
'cause
I
should
have
known
When
he
left
on
the
boat
We'll
meet
no
more.
I
see
a
boat
on
the
river,
It's
sailing
away
Down
to
the
ocean,
Where
to
I
can't
say.
Boat
on
the
river,
It's
sailing
away
Down
to
the
ocean,
Where
to
I
can't
say.
Boat
on
the
river,
It's
sailing
away
Down
to
the
ocean,
Where
to
I
can't
say.
Boat
on
the
river.
You're
bound
for
the
sea,
If
you
should
find
him
Please
greet
him
from
me.
There
were
people
who
came
And
said
it's
really
a
shame,
Why
did
he
take
off
To
follow
just
a
dream.
But
I
guess
they
were
wrong,
In
life
you're
sailing
along
And
things
don't
turn
out
As
simple
as
they
seem.
Boat
on
the
river,
It's
sailing
away
Down
to
the
ocean,
Where
to
I
can't
say.
I
see
a
boat
on
the
river,
It's
sailing
away
Down
to
the
ocean,
Where
to
I
can't
say.
I
see
a
boat
on
the
river.
You're
bound
for
the
sea,
If
you
should
find
him
Please
greet
him
from
me.
Boat
on
the
river,
It's
sailing
away
Down
