Floating Down The River
('Cause It's Moonlight Now In Dixieland)
Composer(s): Roger Lewis; James White



Choo! Choo! Choo!
Come on, Sue
Here comes that old sidewheeler
Down the river;
Choo! Choo! Choo!
Come on, do
A good time for me and you
Now the boat is stoppin', see the gang plank droppin'
Hear the music poppin', all the darkies hoppin'
Beautiful night time, this is the right time
Come with me

Choo! Choo! Choo!
Look there, Sue
Who's that I see a hailin'
From the railin'
Choo! Choo! Choo!
Look! it's Lou
She's going to join us, too
You must hurry Susan, think of time you're losin'
Don't you be refusin', good time I am choosin'
I'm goin' to take you, I'm goin' to make you
Come with me

Floatin' down the river, floatin' down the river
In the evenin' by the bright moonlight
These are good times that are ne'er forgotten
When the shores are snowy white with cotton
To the banjos strummin', we will all be hummin'
Honey, let me take you by the hand
I'm goin', I'm goin'
Floatin' down the river, floatin' down the river
'Cause it's moonlight now in Dixieland
