Dixie Lily |
| Showboat coming up the river |
| See her lanterns flicker in the gentle breeze |
| I can hear the crickets singing in the evening |
| Old Dixie Lily moving past the cypress trees |
| My little boat she rocks easy |
| I’ve been catching catfish in the creek all day |
| Oh and I’ve never seen ladies like those on the big boats |
| Must be fancy breeding lets you live that way |
| Dixie Lily, chugging like a grand old lady |
| Paddles hitting home in the noonday sun |
| Ploughing through the water with your whistles blowing |
| Down from Louisiana on the Vicksburg run |
| Papa says that I’m a dreamer |
| Says them skeetas bit me one too many times |
| Oh but I never get lonesome living on the river |
| Watching old Lily leave the world behind |
