The Barge
that's Sailin' to My Girl
I wanna be chained to the
barge that's sailin' to my girl
Cincinnati is wearin'
and tearin' down on me
I'll sleep chained to a
pile of coal on the river
If it means I can see my
Mindy in St. Louis
I'll quit my job at Proctor
and Gamble
Buy a fourteen karat
golden wedding ring
And ride that barge all
the way to the port in Missouri
Where I will see my
Mindy standin' and waving to me
I'll greet her covered head
to toe with black soot from the coal
barge
Give her a big dirty
kiss on her pink clean cheek
And she'll soap me up
and rinse me all down
And she will march me
off to the Justice of the Peace
