The Ballad of Samuel Clemens (1991)

Put the oar in put the oar down
Put the oar in move it all around
We're in some corrugated tin
We're in some corrugated tin
We're looking to find our sin
Take me to the place where the water meets the low mark
Then take me to the place where the water hits the twain
Take me to that place where the water hits the high mark
Take me to the place where the water meets the plain
Oh pioneers
Oh pioneers
Take me to the bridge take me to the hollow
Take me to where the bridge hangs over
Take me to the hollow take me to the dell
Take me down baby down that wishing well
Take me to the shallow water take me to the deep
Take me to the bridge let me take the leap
Take the husk from Jim who's eating crow
Take it from someone who ought to know
Take me to the bridge where my brother cried
And I'll stick with you til the last dog dies
That boat is gliding through the dark
We'll keep that boat a riding baby
Until we hit that mark
