Peggy Seeger - John Gilbert Is the Boat lyrics
[Peggy Seeger - John Gilbert Is the Boat lyrics]
John Gilbert is a boat di dee o, di dee o
John Gilbert is a boat di dee o
Runnin' in the Cincinnati trade
You see that boat a-comin'
Comin' 'round the bend
Loaded down with cotton
She's comin' in again
John Gilbert is a boat di dee o, di dee o
John Gilbert is a boat di dee o
Runnin' in the Cincinnati trade
She run peanuts and cotton
And then she run so many
Her men they run from her never get a penny
John Gilbert is a boat di dee o, di dee o
John Gilbert is a boat di dee o
Runnin' in the Cincinnati trade
You see that boat a-comin'
She's comin' 'round the bend
Loaded to the bottom with Louisiana men
John Gilbert is a boat di dee o, di dee o
John Gilbert is a boat di dee o
Runnin' in the Cincinnati trade
John Gilbert is a boat di dee o, di dee o
John Gilbert is a boat di dee o
Runnin' in the Cincinnati trade
John Gilbert is a boat di dee o
Runnin' in the Cincinnati trade
You see that boat a-comin'
Comin' 'round the bend
Loaded down with cotton
She's comin' in again
John Gilbert is a boat di dee o, di dee o
John Gilbert is a boat di dee o
Runnin' in the Cincinnati trade
She run peanuts and cotton
And then she run so many
Her men they run from her never get a penny
John Gilbert is a boat di dee o, di dee o
John Gilbert is a boat di dee o
Runnin' in the Cincinnati trade
You see that boat a-comin'
She's comin' 'round the bend
Loaded to the bottom with Louisiana men
John Gilbert is a boat di dee o, di dee o
John Gilbert is a boat di dee o
Runnin' in the Cincinnati trade
John Gilbert is a boat di dee o, di dee o
John Gilbert is a boat di dee o
Runnin' in the Cincinnati trade
