The newest of the southern line.
Wonderfully colored she was just fine.
My very first ride this would be.
I wondered what I would see.
Up the Mississippi to St. Louis.
The boat was loaded with all kinds of
things.
From cattle to food and a parrot that sings.
Powered by steam and two big wheels.
The faster we move the better it feels.
Through the water we move.
Masters of power these big boats prove.
Churning water on both sides.
Oh how I love paddle boat rides.
