WAITIN' FOR THE ROBERT E. LEE

-Muir/Gilbert

4/4 1...2...1234

Intro:

Way down on the levee

old Ala-bamy,

The smokestacks are showin', the whistles are blowin',

There's daddy and mammy, there's Efraim and Sammy

The

ropes they are throwin', ex - cuse me I'm goin'

On a moon - lit night you can find them all,

To the place where all is

har- monious,

While they are waitin' the banjos are syncopatin'

Even the preacher, why, he is the dancin' teacher

What's that they're sayin', oh, what's that they're sayin',

Have you been down there, oh, were you a-round there

Well, while they keep playin', I'm humming and swayin'

you ever go there,

you'll always be found there

It's the good ship Robert E.

Lee that's come to carry the cotton a-way

Why, dog -gone, here comes my baby,

on the good ol' Robert E. Lee
