Down On the Houseboat - Merle Haggard

Down on the houseboat, remember all the fun

Down on the houseboat, our moment in the sun

From bay to bay on Shasta Lake

Hey, we jumped ship for the baby’s sake

We doubted the party would ever end

Hey, you were my woman and I was your man

And we made love 'neath the stars above

And we jumped ship when the water got rough

And tied down the party barge

Took Jenessa to higher ground

And moved in a cabin close to town

The party’s not over or so it seems

We’re still together and we still got dreams

We’re living on the riverbank and rivers are fun

We party on the riverbank in the midnight sun
