Dean Martin - Waiting for the Robert E. Lee lyrics
[Dean Martin - Waiting for the Robert E. Lee lyrics]
Way down on the levee in old Alabamy
There's daddy and mammy
There's Efran 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
Well while they keep playing
I'm humming and swaying
It's the good ship Robert E lee that's
Come to carry the cotton away
Watch them shuffle along
See them shuffle along
Oh take your best gal real pal
Go down to the levee i said the levee
Join the shuffling throng
Hear the music and song
It's simply great mate waiting on the levee
Waiting for the Robert E lee
Whistles are blowing smokestacks are showing
The ropes they are throwing
Excuse me I'm going
To the place where all is harmonious
Even the preacher they say
Is the dancing teacher
Have you been down there say
Were you around there
If you ever go there you'll
Always be found there
Why doggone here comes my baby on
The good ship Robert E lee
Watch them shuffle along
See them shuffle along
Oh take your best gal your real
Pal go down to the levee i said the levee
Join the shuffling throng
Hear the music and song
It's simply great mate waiting on the levee
Waiting for the Robert E lee
There's daddy and mammy
There's Efran 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
Well while they keep playing
I'm humming and swaying
It's the good ship Robert E lee that's
Come to carry the cotton away
Watch them shuffle along
See them shuffle along
Oh take your best gal real pal
Go down to the levee i said the levee
Join the shuffling throng
Hear the music and song
It's simply great mate waiting on the levee
Waiting for the Robert E lee
Whistles are blowing smokestacks are showing
The ropes they are throwing
Excuse me I'm going
To the place where all is harmonious
Even the preacher they say
Is the dancing teacher
Have you been down there say
Were you around there
If you ever go there you'll
Always be found there
Why doggone here comes my baby on
The good ship Robert E lee
Watch them shuffle along
See them shuffle along
Oh take your best gal your real
Pal go down to the levee i said the levee
Join the shuffling throng
Hear the music and song
It's simply great mate waiting on the levee
Waiting for the Robert E lee
