Thread Name: Origin: Way Down in Shawneetown (Dillon Bustin)
Subject: Shawnee Town
I'm guessing about the spelling of the song. I sang it briefly at a dance and music camp. It starts out,

"Its hard on the beech oar, she moves too slow, Way down t' Shawnee (Shoney, Shaney?) town, on the Ohio"

I'd love the rest of the words and verses and best of all possible worlds, the chords or music.

Thanks to anyone who responds,
