Talk about your spoo - ning, and moo – ning Take a trip to Boston, it’s fine

Sailing up the bay boys hur-ray boys I was on the upper deck when I met mine

On The Old Fall River Line , On The Old Fall River Line

I fell for Suzies line of talk and Su - zie fell for mine

Then we fell in with a parson and he tied us tight as twi-----ne

C Dm C C6 C D7 G7 C
But I wish O Lord I fell overboard On The Old Fall Ri - ver Line

C D7 G7 C G7 C
When the boat is landing they’re standing spooners by the dozen , and more

C D7 G7
While the captains calling and baul - ing

"Is there anybody wants to go a - shore?"

Ev ’ – ry bod - y just answers then

D D^ D7 D6 D G7
"Turn the boat round a - gain" ……TO CHORUS
