<br>

BARBARA JO:<br>

Way down on the levee in old Alabamy, <br>

there's Daddy and Mammy, there's Ephraim and Sammy. <br>

On a moonlight night you can find them all. <br>

While they are waitin', the banjos are syncopatin'<br>

<br>

ANNE:<br>

Oh, what's that they're sayin'? <br>

Oh, what's that they're sayin'? <br>

While they keep playin', and hummin' and swayin', <br>

it's the good ship Robert E. Lee that's here to carry the cotton away.<br>

<br>

PENNY: <br>

Ah-ha-ha, watch them shufflin' along, see them shufflin' along! <br>

Go take your best gal, your real pal, go down on the levee, <br>

I said to the levee, and we'll (CHORUS joins) join that shufflin' throng. <br>

Hear that music and song. <br>

It's simply great, mate, <br>

waitin' on the levee, <br>

waitin' for the Robert E. Lee!<br>
