Way down on the levee in old Alabamy
There's daddy and mammy, there's Ephraim and Sammy,
On a moonlight night you can find them all,
While they are waitin' the banjos are syncopatin'.
What's that they're sayin'?
What's that they're sayin'?
While they keep playin', hummin' and swayin'?
It's the good ship Robert E. Lee
that's come to carry the cotton away.
Watch them shufflin' along
See them shufflin' along
Go take your best gal, real pal,
Go down to the levee
I said to the levee
And join that shufflin' throng
Hear that music and song.
It's simply great, mate,
Waitin' on the levee,
Waitin' for the Robert E. Lee

Watch them shufflin' along
See them shufflin' along
Go take your best gal, real pal,
Go down to the levee
I said to the levee
And join that shufflin' throng
Hear that music and song.
It's simply great, mate,
Waitin' on the levee,
Waitin' for the Robert E. Lee
The whistles are blowin' the smoke stacks are showin',
The ropes they are throwin' excuse me I'm goin'
To the place where all is harmonious
Even the preacher, he is the dancing teacher
Have you been down there?
Were you around there?
If you ever go there you'll always be found there
Why, doggone! Here comes my baby
On the good old Robert E. Lee

Watch them shufflin' along
See them shufflin' along
Go take your best gal, real pal,
Go down to the levee
I said to the levee
And join that shufflin' throng
Hear that music and song.
It's simply great, mate,
Waitin' on the levee,
Waitin' for the Robert E. Lee

Watch them shufflin' along
See them shufflin' along
Go take your best gal, real pal,
Go down to the levee
I said to the levee
And join that shufflin' throng
Hear that music and song.
It's simply great, mate,
Waitin' on the levee,
Waitin' for the Robert E. Lee
