Send "Marktwain" Ringtone to your Cell
Geller/Seligson
My granddad used to tell me, "Boy, when I was just your age, I was a river pilot on a showboat called The Stage.
I`d hobnob with them southern belles and ev`ry roustabout. I`d listen to them paddle wheels and hear the leadsman shout!
Chorus:
Mark Twain, it`s two fathoms deep below. Mark Twain, heave the gang plank. Start the show.
Mark Twain, play those banjos as we go down the Mississippi, `round the Gulf of Mexico.
There were gamblers, crooks and fakers and a minstrel man who`d dance. A singin` gal, Simone Lamour, imported straight from France.
It was a floatin` palace, boy, that showboat called The Stage, and granddad was the king of it when he was just my age."
(Chorus)
The calliope is quiet now. The rudder`s thick with rust. The main deck and the paddle wheels are covered high with dust.
But granddad`s in his glory, still standin` on the bow. A halo `round his pilot`s cap and I can hear him now.
(Chorus) Send " Marktwain" Ringtone to your Cell
