The stuff:

, , , , 

                            
Showboat coming up the river
                                     
See her lanterns flicker in the gentle breeze
                                              
I can hear the crickets singing in the evening
                            
Old Dixie Lily moving past the cypress trees

                             
My little boat she rocks easy
                                         
I've been catching catfish in the creek all day
                                                         
Oh and I've never seen ladies like those on the big boats
                                       
Must be fancy breeding lets you live that way

                             
Dixie Lily, chugging like a grand old lady
                                    
Paddles hitting home in the noonday sun
                                            
Ploughing through the water with your whistles blowing
                                           
Down from Louisiana on the Vicksburg run

                            
Papa says that I'm a dreamer
                                   
Says them skeetas bit me one too many times
                                               
Oh but I never get lonesome living on the river
                                 
Watching old Lily leave the world behind

                             
Dixie Lily, chugging like a grand old lady
                                    
Paddles hitting home in the noonday sun
                                            
Ploughing through the water with your whistles blowing
                                           
Down from Louisiana on the Vicksburg run

Oooh, Dixie Lily, chugging like a grand old lady
                                    
Paddles hitting home in the noonday sun
                                            
Ploughing through the water with your whistles blowing
                                     
Down from Louisiana on the Vicksburg run, oooh
                                           
Down from Louisiana on the Vicksburg run

   And that's the whole thing... I guess it's right...
   See ya...
