How about the old Burl Ives recording of "St. John's River"----definitely a Florida riverboat song.

Baby,
Don't ya leave me,
Your sweetie's gonna leave you,
Yes you,
On the St. Johns River,
And nary a cent will I be the giver.

Baby,
Don't you hear me,
Your sweetie's gonna ride the "Cherokee" down the St. John's River,
And nary a cent will I be the giver.

Baby,
Don't you hear me,
Yor furniture's gonna leave you,
Yes, you.
On the St. John's River,
And nary a cent will I be the giver!

That's all I remember. It's a haunting song with much left unsaid. All we're told is someone's leaving someone. They are taking the furniture. They're not leaving any money. And they're taking the STR. (steamboat) THE CHEROKEE on the St. John's River. I do hope the paddlewheel don't hit a manatee.
