Waiting For The Robert E Lee

Waiting For The Robert E Lee - Al Jolson

Way down on the levee in old alabamy

There's daddy and Mammy

There's Efran and Sammy

On a moonlight night you can find them all

While they are waiting

The banjos are syncopating

What's that they're saying

What's that they're saying

While they keep playing

I'm humming and swaying

It's the good ship Robert E Lee

That's come to carry the cotton away

Watch them shuffle along

See them shuffle along

Oh take your best gal your real pal

Go down to the levee I said to the levee

And join that shuffling throng

Hear that music and song

It's simply great mate waiting on the levee

Waiting for the Robert E Lee

Watch them shuffling along

See them shuffling along

Go take your best gal your real pal

Go down to the levee I said to the levee

Join the shuffling throng

Hear the music and song

It's simply great mate waiting on the levee

Waiting for the Robert E Lee
