Intro: (2x) I took myself a blue canoe, and I floated like a leaf. Dazzlin', dancin', half enchanted in my Merlin sleep. Crazy was the feeling, restless were my eyes, insane they took the paddles, my arms they paralyzed. Chorus: So, where to now, St. Peter, if it's true I'm in your hands I may not be a Christian, but I've done all one man can. I understand I'm on the road where all that was is gone, so where to now, St. Peter, show me which road I'm on, which road I'm on. Took a sweet young foreign gun, this lazy life is short. Something for nothing always ending with a bad report. Dirty was the daybreak, sudden was the change, in such a silent place as this, beyond the rifle range. {Chorus} I took myself a blue canoe.
