Lyrics Down On the Houseboat - Merle Haggard

Down On the Houseboat

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
