Who's gonna see
You get your paper tonight
Who'll see your freight gets towed
Who's gonna save you
When your ship don't come in
I know, I know, Iknow
She ain't sleek and sassy
She ain't bold and brassy
But it sure is fine to see her go
Nine hundred horses
Eighteen feet below
Making sure the barge gets towed
Who's gonna see
You get your paper tonight
Who'll see your freight gets towed
Who's gonna save you
When your ship don't come in
I know, I know, Iknow
Get a mile of logs
In the west coast fog
Got my eyes on a radar screen
Like the lone ranger
When a boat's in danger
I'm the first one on the scene
Who's gonna see
You get your paper tonight
Who'll see your freight gets towed
Who's gonna save you
When your ship don't come in
I know, I know, Iknow
Take your nine to five
Take your suit and tie
You can marry the banker's daughter
The road I ride
Will be the changing tide
And a life on the Georgia Straight water
Who's gonna see
You get your paper tonight
Who'll see your freight gets towed
Who's gonna save you
When your ship don't come in
I know, I know, Iknow
