Lyrics
I had a job on the levee
I had a good lookin' woman lived in here
You know I had a job on the levee
I had a good lookin' woman lived in here
Well you know that pretty little old thing
She kept me with the governor fleet blues
Well on every payday
She'd be standing round the landing cryin'
On every payday
She'd be standing round the landing cryin'
She'd be sayin', "Why don't that big boat hurry
And bring home that man of mine?"
Oh on every payday
She'd be standing round the landing cryin'
On every payday
She'd be standing round the landing cryin'
You know if that don't run me crazy
I b'lieve I'm gonna lose my mind
You know sometimes way down the river
She could hear the big boat when she blow
Way down the river
She could hear the big boat when she blow
But then when that little darling got that check
She told me she couldn't use me no more
You know I told her that's all right
Little girl, that's all right for you
Yahoo, little girl, that's all right for you
You know you treat me low down and dirty
See honey, and that's the way you do
You know I left the little girl
She's settin' down in the back door cryin'
I left the little girl
Settin' down in the back door cryin'
I said now, if she don't go crazy
I b'lieve she gon' lose her mind
You know what I say when you get lonesome
Little girl, send out and write to me
Yahoo, you can send right down and write to me
Yes I can read your little writin' baby
And I don't care where in the world I be
