Choo! Choo! Choo!
Come on, Sue,
here comes that old sidewheeler,
down the river,
Choo! Choo! Choo!
Come on, do,
a good time for me and you.
Now the boat is stoppin'
see the gang plank droppin'
hear the music poppin'
all the darkies hoppin'
Beautiful night time,
this is the right time.
Come with me.

Floatin' down the river
floatin' down the river,
in the evenin'
by the bright moon light,
These are good times
that are ne'er forgotten,
when the shores
are snowy white with cotton,
to the banjo's strummin'
we will all be hummin'
Honey let me take you by the hand,
I'm goin'
I'm goin'
floatin' down the river,
floatin' down the river,
'cause it's moonlight now
in Dixieland.

Floatin' down the river
floatin' down the river,
in the evenin'
by the bright moon light,
These are good times
that are ne'er forgotten,
when the shores
are snowy white with cotton,
to the banjo's strummin'
we will all be hummin'
Honey let me take you by the hand,
I'm goin'
I'm goin'
floatin' down the river,
floatin' down the river,
'cause it's moonlight now
in Dixieland.

Choo! Choo! Choo!
Look there, Sue,
who's that I see a hailin'
from the railin'
Choo! Choo! Choo!
Look! It's Lou,
she's going to join us too.
You must hurry, Susan
think of time you're losin'
don't you be refusin'
good time I am choosin'
I'm goin' to take you
I'm goin' to make you
Come with me.

Floatin' down the river
floatin' down the river,
in the evenin'
by the bright moon light,
These are good times
that are ne'er forgotten,
when the shores
are snowy white with cotton,
to the banjo's strummin'
we will all be hummin'
Honey let me take you by the hand,
I'm goin'
I'm goin'
floatin' down the river,
floatin' down the river,
'cause it's moonlight now
in Dixieland.

Floatin' down the river
floatin' down the river,
in the evenin'
by the bright moon light,
These are good times
that are ne'er forgotten,
when the shores
are snowy white with cotton,
to the banjo's strummin'
we will all be hummin'
Honey let me take you by the hand,
I'm goin'
I'm goin'
floatin' down the river,
floatin' down the river,
'cause it's moonlight now
in Dixieland.
