LYRICS
Here it comes around the bend
The "Birding Boat" is back again
Way up the river and down
The "Birding Boat" has come to town!

Chorus
On the "Birding Boat", on the Mississippi
On the "Birding Boat", on the Mississippi
On the "Birding Boat" on the Mississippi
Let's go on the "Birding Boat"!

Mississippi River and a birder's-eye view
From the second deck of a paddle-wheeler too
Bring your binoculars, take a ride
And mark it all down in your "Birding Boat Field Guide"

"The Birding Boat Song" Words, Music, Arrangement, by Charlie Maguire

Did You Know?
