The Mark Twain: Waiting for the Robert E. Lee/Crusin' Down the River lyrics

There's daddy and mammy, there's Efran and Sammy
On a moonlight night, you can find them all

While they are waiting, the banjos are syncopatin'
What's that they're sayin', what's that they're sayin'
Well, while they keep playin', I'm hummin' and swayin'
It's the good ship Robert E. Lee that's come to carry the cotton away

Watch them shuffle along
See them shuffle along
Oh, take your best gal real pal
Go down to the levee

I said the levee
Join the shufflin' throng
Hear the music and song
It's simply great, mate waiting on the levee
Waiting for the Robert E. Lee

Whistles are blowin', smokestacks are showing
The ropes they are throwin', excuse me I'm going
To the place where all is harmonious

Even the preacher, they say is the dancing teacher
Have you been down there, say were you around there?
If you ever go there, you'll always be found there
Why doggone, here comes my baby
On the good ship Robert E. Lee

Watch them shuffle along
See them shuffle along
Oh, take your best gal your real pal
Go down to the levee

I said the levee
Join the shufflin' throng
Hear the music and song
It's simply great mate, waiting on the levee
Waiting for the Robert E. Lee

There's daddy and mammy, there's Efran and Sammy
On a moonlight night, you can find them all
