Shanty Boat On The Mississippi

Shanty boat on the Mississippi

Splashin' long to shore

Oh huh

No hair do mow

No comb to hold

I've never gonna work no more than another lady

Setting love at the bill collector

Snopin' round my door oh

Ain't scared of him

'Coz he can't swim

I'm never gonna pale bobobabebobobo

Come a day when the fish aim a bitin'

And I got some time that's free

Gonna blow for the landing

And get my gal

And bring her back with me oh huh

To my shanty boat on the Mississippi

Better times in store or

She'll sweap my robe

And that's my joll

I'm never gonna avoid no boat
