If you ever go to Mobile
I'll tell you what to do,
Go down to the Levee,
Go down to the Levee,
that's the only place to go
when you're feeling blue,
down on the levee.
Ev'ry day seems just like a holiday
way down on the levee,
way down on the levee.
Ev'rybody's always feeling gay.
Down on the Levee.

All day long,
the Darkies are singing,
while they wheel away the cotton,
no matter how heavy,
they keep on singing just the same,
this place is known in the Hall of Fame,
Old Mobile Alabam'
down on the Levee.

All day long,
the Darkies are singing,
while they wheel away the cotton,
no matter how heavy,
they keep on singing just the same,
this place is known in the Hall of Fame,
Old Mobile Alabam'
down on the Levee.

That's where ev'rybody's happy
'cause boat's a comin' in,
way down on the Levee,
way down on the levee,
come along my little Honey,
fun'll soon begin,
down on the levee,
never had much money
but lots of fun,
way down on the levee,
way down on the levee.
Coming down the gang plank
on the run,
down on the levee.

All day long,
the Darkies are singing,
while they wheel away the cotton,
no matter how heavy,
they keep on singing just the same,
this place is known in the Hall of Fame,
Old Mobile Alabam'
down on the Levee.

All day long,
the Darkies are singing,
while they wheel away the cotton,
no matter how heavy,
they keep on singing just the same,
