| Steamer Written by: John Scott Sherrill Performed by: Jimmy Buffett Originally from the Album: Somewhere Over China (1982) |
| Jimmy’s Notes: There is something terribly romantic about the old passenger ships that used to comb the oceans of the world before concrete runways and jet planes made them obsolete. I spent a night once on the Queen Mary in Long Beach trying to imagine what that era must have been like. Even with her decks full of people from bus tours, even parked next to the Spruce Goose in a jungle of oil terminals, I could still feel the ship talk to me. When I heard this song, it reminded me of the good old days. |
| Lyrics: I remember that steamer The time you set sail The crowd was steamin', streamin' and leanin' on the rail Then the big whistle blew And I lost my place Next thing I knew I could not find your face I can see muyself dramin' The dinner bell chimed INSTRUMENTAL I remember that river INSTRUMENTAL But most of all it's that steamer |
