Trackhorse: after much delay, I can now say I have finished transcribing the lyrics here for you (albeit, it took much longer than the week I promised). Hope you get to see them or you find them somehow. After the first stanza, the lyrics given are just the leaders, with the All choruses the same after each line break Lead: Some claim that we are land-locked kids All: Water, boys, water! Lead: But I don't find that quite so clear All: All around us, water Lead: For nearly two blocks from my home, the Mississippi southward roams All: Flowing to the sea (x3) Lock-in Number One's not very large It only holds one tug, one barge But nine miles down the St. Paul part, that's where the heavy traffic starts But 'cross the bridge the water falls Yeah, but when it's cold, the water thaws Then morphs into an icy sheet, yet that solid water keeps Below the dam the waters dance And wandering lovers seek romance Looking for a love that lasts, where troubled water flowed by fast Along the banks by Crosby Lake A barred owl's call, you can't mistake Who cooks for you, he'd like to know, as you watch his river go Now half my life or more I'll spend Living in this river bend But someday soon I'll launch a craft, hope you may be a raft, and go To Lake Itasca's shores I'd go To dream upon that river slow Imagine bridges, towns, and city scenes, St. Lewis, Memphis, New Orleans
