Waiting for the Robert E. Lee

Waiting for the Robert E. Lee - Al Jolson

Written by： L. Wolfe Gilbert/Lewis F. Muir

Way down on the levy in old Alabamy

There's daddy and mammy

There's Ephraim 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

Ah humming and swaying

It's the good ship Robert E. Lee

That's come to carry the cotton away

Watch them shuffling along

See them shuffling along

Go take your best gal real pal

Go down to the levy I said to the levy

And join that shuffling throng

Hear that music and song

It's simply great mate waiting on the levy

Waiting for the Robert E. Lee

Watch them shuffling along

See them shuffling along

Go take your best gal real pal

Go down to the levy I said to the levy

And join that shuffling throng

Hear that music and song

It's simply great mate waiting on the levy

Waiting for the Robert E. Lee
