lyrics

I got the Hotel Wanakena tryna' find a place to stay-a blues
I got the Hotel Wanakena tryna' find a place to stay-a blues
But when I came to this town
It was all torn down, oh boohoo

Oh I drove a thousand miles 'cause I heard it was the place to be
Oh I drove a thousand miles 'cause I heard it was the place to be
When I called up Billy Bean
He was nowhere to be seen, oh me

I got a couple trucks of lumber tryna' find a place to build my home
I got a couple trucks of lumber tryna' find a place to build my home
But when my feet hit the ground
It was just a ghost town, what's wrong?

I heard they got accommodations when you need a vacation bed
I heard they got accommodations when you need a vacation bed
Oh you silly silly boy
Try the Hotel Conroy instead

I'm on the Oswegatchie river tryna' find a place to dip my toes
I'm on the Oswegatchie river tryna' find a place to dip my toes
I was asleep then awake
Deep in Cranberry Lake
I slipped away in the stream
And I woke up in a dream
Goodness knows
