James Taylor - Sit Down Youre Rockin The Boat Lyrics

I dreamed last night I got on the boat to heaven
And by some chance I had brought my dice along
And there I stood
and I hollered "Somebody fade me! "
But the passengers all knew right from wrong

For the people all said sit down
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat
The people all said sit down
Sit down you're rockin' the boat

And the devil will drag you under
By the sharp lapel of your checkered coat
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down
Sit down you're rockin' the boat

I sailed away on that little boat to heaven
And by some chance found a bottle in my fist
And there I stood, nicely passin' out the whisky
But the passengers were bound to resist

For the people all said "Beware
You’re on a heavenly trip. "
The people all said "Beware
Beware, you'll scuttle the ship! "

And the devil will drag you under
By the fancy tie 'round your wicked throat
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat

And as I laughed at those passengers to heaven
A great big wave came and knocked me overboard!
And as I sank, and I hollered "Someone save me! "
That's the moment I woke up
Thank the Lord

And I said to myself, sit down
Sit down, you're rockin' the boat
I said to myself sit down
Sit down, sit down you're rockin' this boat

And the devil will drag you under
With a soul so heavy you'd never float
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down
Sit down, stop rockin' the boat
