This Ole Tin Can

Southern Belle River Boat in Chattanooga Tennessee 
amazing cruise that you must see
view the city from the boat 
observe nature while you float

long blast of the whistle when you depart 
if up front it’ll skip your heart 
McClelland Island is full of life 
I love to cruise with my wife

John Ross would be proud today
to see his trading post build up this way
from the dirtiest city in ‘67 
to a little piece of earthly heaven

the sun in summer, the color in fall
we cruise all year, come see it all
dine and drink with friends and fam
come and cruise this ole tin can

a national park city has come to be 
with every mountain, river and tree
as the gateway to the deep south 
great place to live without a doubt

experience each sight, sound and smell
from the riverboat southern belle 
she’s a masterpiece in floating fun
a key attraction to not be outdone 

long short short long short 
the whistle means you’re about to port
come get your goods and people too 
this ole tin can is here for you

where the mountain comes to a point 
the city below will not disappoint
attractions for all no matter your age 
come cruise the river to engage

the sun in summer, the color in fall
we cruise all year, come see it all
dine and drink with friends and fam
come and cruise this ole tin can
