Robert Allen Palmer (January 19, 1949 – September 26, 2003), born in Batley, Yorkshire, England, was a British singer. He was known for his soulful voice and the eclectic mix of musical styles on his albums, combining soul, jazz, rock, reggae, blues, and even yodeling. His eighties hits were promoted by particularly striking award winning videos, featuring an all-female, black-clad backing band. The memorable videos, directed by Terence Donovan, featured heavily on MTV and played a large part in his transatlantic success.

River Boat Lyrics

Robert Palmer

(alan toussaint)
Time dies tryin to fly by
Got a grain of love in my eye
And if I ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Tryin to beat each other if they can
But that river boat keeps on chuggin
While we keep on kissin and huggin
We got love, we got love
Big wheels just keep on turnin
And the fires just keep on burnin
Love keeps on gowin
Yeah river just keep on flowin
Time dies tryin to fly by
Got a grain of love in my eye
Opportunity knockin
Big boat keep on rockin
That river boat keep on chuggin chuggin
We just need to keep on kissin and huggin
We got love, we got love, yes we do
Big boat just keep on chuggin
We just keep on kissin and huggin
We got love, yes we do, we got love
Dont you know that river boat it keeps on chuggin
We just need to keep on kissin and huggin
We got love
