Down on the river, way down the river
I hear a whistle blow
Down on the landing, where I am standing
Down where the river flows
Down on the river, way down the river
I hear a show boat band
Big wheel a flashing, old General Jackson
Rolling on to Oprey Land
Young people dancing, old folks romancing
All to the country tune
Here at the rail, put out to sail
Under a southern moon
