Here's the version Mister and I do:
Shawneetown
Some poles up but we floats down
Way down the Ohio to Shawneetown
And it's hard on the beach shore
She moves too slow
Way down to Shawneetown on the OhioWhiskey's in the keg, boys
The Grain is in the sack
We'll float her down to Shawneetown
And Bushwack her back
And it's hard on the beach shore
She moves too slow
Way down to Shawneetown on the OhioThat water's mighty warm boys
The air is cold and dank
The cursed fog has got so thick
I can barely see the bank
And it's hard on the beach shore
She moves too slow
Way down to Shawneetown on the OhioI got a girl in Louisville
Another in New Orleans
Goin down to Shawneetown
To see my Indian queenAnd it's hard on the beach shore
She moves too slow
Way down to Shawneetown on the OhioSome poles up but we floats down
Way down the Ohio to Shawneetown
And it's hard on the beach shore
She moves too slow
Way down to Shawneetown on the OhioShawneetown is a real live place, just beyond where the Ohio River meets the Wabash. :)
