Lyr Req: Boats up the river? / Boat's up the River

Does anyone know any other verses to this song? I learnt it from Diane Jones when she played at Gainsborough England about 2 years ago.

Boats up the river won't be coming down,
Know by the way I'm going Alabama bound
Alabama bound, Alabama bound
Know by the way I'm going I'm Alabama bound.

There's only one thing that troubles my mind,
It's my old waterberry and she won't keep time,
Won't keep the time boys, won't keep the time,
It's my old waterberry and she won't keep time.
            
            Cheers Oombanjo.

Thank you Masato. I have checked out the link and should be able to string a few more verses together, When I learnt this from Diane,She said that Dwight Diller Said that a waterburry was a old type of pockey watch.
