Waiting for The Robert E Lee.

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. Nov 2000.

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 syncopating.

What's that they're sayin',
What's that they're sayin',
While they keep on playin',
hummin' and swaying?

It's the good ship Robert E Lee,
that's come to carry the cotton away.

Watch them shuffle 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 shuffle 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 dancin' teacher.

Have you been down there?
Were you around there?

If you ever go there,
you'll always be found there.

Why, dog gone!
here comes my baby on the good old Robert E Lee.

Watch them shuffle 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 shuffle 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.
