Long Hot Summer Days |
| Gonna pick up some of them empties here |
| Just as soon as we know where they lay |
| Tied off of them jolly and leaving lines |
| On a long hot summer day |
| For every day I work on the Illinois river |
| Get a half a day off with pay |
| All day long I’m makin' up barges |
| On a long hot summer day |
| Well, I got me a gal in Peking |
| She’s a good ol' gal okay |
| I bet she’s sitting a window fan |
| On a long hot summer day |
| For every day I work on the Illinois river |
| Get a half a day off with pay |
| All day long I’m makin' up barges |
| On a long hot summer day |
| Last night we had pork for supper |
| Today it’ll be chicken consomme |
| And a fruit jar full of iced tea |
| On a long hot summer day |
| For every day I work on the Illinois river |
| Get a half a day off with pay |
| All day long I’m makin' up barges |
| On a long hot summer day |
| Well, we put a man off in Beardstown |
| When we come down yesterday |
| I’m gonna off down at Alton |
| On a long hot summer day |
| For every day I work on the Illinois river |
| Get a half a day off with pay |
| All day long I’m makin' up barges |
| On a long hot summer day |
