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 |
