Waitin' for the Robert E. Lee |
| Way down on the levee in old Alabamy |
| 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 syncopating |
| What’s that they’re saying, what’s that they’re saying |
| Well while they keep playing I’m humming and swaying |
| 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 shuffling throng |
| Hear the music and song |
| It’s simply great mate waiting on the levee |
| Waiting for the Robert E. Lee |
| Whistles are blowing smokestacks are showing |
| The ropes they are throwing, 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 shuffling throng |
| Hear the music and song |
| It’s simply great mate waiting on the levee |
| Waiting for the Robert E. Lee |
