Steamer 

By: John Scott Sherrill 

1981 

For The Band 

I remember that steamer 

Time you set sail 

The crowd was steamin' 

Streamin' and leanin' on the rail 



Then the big whistle blew 

And I lost my place 

Next thing I knew 

I could not find your face 



I can see myself dreamin' 

The time you came home 

Your face was beamin' 

Seemin' to stand out alone 



Dinner bell chimed 

And I found my seat 

And your eyes met mine 

Your smile was so sweet 



I remember that river 

First time we made love 

Oh I still kinda shiver a little 

At what I'm thinkin' of 



How your dress it just floated 

All down around your knees 

And I held my breath, my God my girl 

'Cause I could not believe 



(instrumental) 



Most of all it's that steamer 

Time you set sail 

Ah the crowd's always steamin' 

Streamin' and leanin' on the rail 



Then the big whistle blows 

And I always lose my place 

Next thing I know 

I cannot find your face
