One of these days I get my boat on the water My boat on the water one of these days Named after my girl Cecilia Carter You know the American actress? And when Cecilia floats on the water And winter is over come summertime Very soon now I'm going to be a father I hope it's a daughter this time And if I get, if I get enough money Or I find a pot of gold I have a big family to look after me when I'm old But first of all, all I want is this boat see My Dad never could afford one you see He got too many mouths to feed My Mamma always used to say to me darling To everything there is a beginning So first I got to get Cecilia Carter on the water floating
I stopped by the river bank And put my toes in the sand I might not need a family plan Cos if I listen to my heart I'll forever be Cecilia's man And if I get, if I get enough money Or I find a pot of gold I have a big family to look after me when I'm old But first of all, all I want is this boat see My Dad never could afford one you see He got too many mouths to feed And if I get, if I get enough money Or I find a pot of gold I have a big family to look after me when I'm old But first of all, all I want is this boat see My Dad never could afford one you see He got too many mouths to feed
