Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ridin' round the county, drinkin' from a jar
The blue canoe up on top of the car
Hop in, darling, don't be a stranger
Sit back and relax because you ain't in no danger
[Verse 2]
Well, Bogalusa spells trouble to me
I'd rather stay out here under the trees
There's a wind on the lake and stars in the sky
What else do you need to make you feel high?
[Verse 3]
I wanna ride with you
In my blue canoe
Baby, let's go ridin'
Slippin' and a-slidin'
In my blue canoe
[Verse 4]
You bring the ice chest and I get the bait
Meet me at the lake and don't be late
'Cause all this hangin' around is draggin' me down
I gotta get behind the wheel and get the hell out of town
[Verse 5]
Too many people, too many cars
Too many nights and too many bars
The noggin's gettin' soggy and my spirits are saggin'
Time to take a ride in my blue water wagon
[Verse 6]
I wanna ride with you
In my blue canoe
Baby, let's go ridin'
Slippin' and a-slidin'
In my blue canoe
[Verse 7]
In my blue canoe
In my blue canoe
Blue canoe
[Verse 8]
In my blue canoe
