FLOATING DOWN THE RIVER ('Cause It's Moonlight Now In Dixieland)
(Words by Roger Lewis / Music by James White, 1913)


Choo! Choo! Choo! Come on, Sue, Here comes that old
sidewheeler, Down the river; Choo! Choo! Choo! Come on, do, A
good time for me and you Now the boat is stoppin', see the gang
plank droppin,' Hear the music poppin',,' all the darkies
hoppin', Beautiful night time, this is the right time, Come with me

Choo! Choo! Choo! Look there, Sue, Who's that I see a hailin',
From the railin' Choo! Choo! Choo! Look! it's Lou, She's going
to join us, too. You must hurry Susan, think of time you're
losin'; Don't you be refusin', good time I am choosin', I'm goin'
to take you, I'm goin' to make you Come with me

Floatin' down the river, floatin' down the river, In the evenin' by
the bright moonlight, These are good times that are ne'er
forgotten, When the shores are snowy white with cotton, To the
banjos strummin', we will all be hummin', Honey, let me take
you by the hand, I'm goin', I'm goin', Floatin' down the river,
floatin' down the river, Cause it's moonlight now in Dixie land.
