DOWN THE RIVER

The river is up and the channel is deep,
And the waves go steady and strong;
As we go 'long, as we go 'long,
As we go marching along.
Down the river, oh down the river,
Down the river we go;

Down the river, oh down the river,
Down the Ohio.

From Treasury of Mississippi River Folklore, Botkin
