1
Way down on the levy in old Alabamy
2
There's Daddy and Mammy
3
There's Ephraim and Sammy
4
On a moonlight night you can find them all
5
While they are waiting,
6
The banjos are syncopating
7
What's that they're saying?
8
What's that they're saying?
9
While they keep playing
10
A, humming and swaying
11
It's the good ship Robert E. Lee
12
That's come to carry the cotton away!
13
Watch them shuffling along,
14
See them shuffling along!
15
Go take your best gal, real pal
16
Go down to the levy, I said to the levy,
17
And join that shuffling throng
18
Hear that music and song!
19
It's simply great, mate, waiting on the levy
20
Waiting for the Robert E. Lee!
21
The whistles are blowing, the smokestacks are showing
22
The ropes they are throwing, excuse me I'm going
23
To the place where all is harmonious
24
Even the preacher, he is the dancing teacher!
25
Have you been down there?
26
Were you around there?
27
If you ever go there you'll always be found there,
28
Why, dog-gone, here comes my baby
29
On the good old Robert E. Lee!
30
Watch them shuffling along,
31
See them shuffling along
32
Go take your best gal, real pal
33
Go down to the levy, I said to the levy,
34
And join that shuffling throng
35
Hear that music and song!
36
It's simply great, mate, waiting on the levy
37
Waiting for the Robert E. Lee!
