lyrics

Circle the wagons and close up all the gaps
The boogie-boogie bugle boy is playing sweet ol' taps
The bars are letting out and the drunks are on the prowl
And even the good cops are throwing in the towel
The riverboat captain he knows my fate
But everybody else is gonna have to wait

Traveling around in a cardboard jacket
I hope it doesn't rain on me
Traveling around in a cardboard jacket
Absolutely sweet Marie

The hen is in the hen house counting all her chicks
The pugilist is in the ring he's getting all his licks
Suddenly a tsunami washes up ashore
The wave is so damn big that no one can ignore
The riverboat captain, he knows my fate
But everybody else is gonna have to wait

The man in black has fallen in a burning ring of fire
Down, down, down and the flames went higher
All the passions that consumed him have burned up his best suit
The devil blew on his horn while the angel played his flute
The riverboat captain, he knows my fate
But everybody else gonna have to wait
