This ol' riverboat walkin up the river
Keep her steady as you go
Heave the lead and pay the line
Now we're markin' on the twine
Four fathoms below
Way up the river we go

This ol' riverboat walkin' by the levee
Keep her steady as you go
Think I hear the captain say
Full ahead we're on our way
Three fathoms below
Way up the river we go

Keep on a-movin' gotta beat ol' Dixie
Or we'll come back empty I know
Way down the river I can hear her whistle blow

This ol' riverboat churnin' muddy water
Ease er' down and take it slow
Can't you hear that rumblin' sound
Lord, I think we've run aground
No fathoms below
You'd better pray it ain't so

We're muckin' bottom, and here comes ol' Dixie
Singin' who's got that cotton to sell?
Ah, but when she's passin'
We're risin' high on her swell
