The lyrics paint a picture of a hardworking woman named Mary, who seems to have a deep connection to her work, specifically involving a river and a boat. The repeated mention of the "riverboat" and "rolling on the river" suggests a life lived in motion, perhaps tied to the rhythm of the water and the vessel itself. There's a sense of pride and dedication in her actions, as she's described as "rolling, rolling, rolling on the river."
