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 Ohio

Whiskey'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 Ohio

That 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 Ohio

I got a girl in Louisville
Another in New Orleans
Goin down to Shawneetown
To see my Indian queen

And it's hard on the beach shore
She moves too slow
Way down to Shawneetown on the Ohio

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 Ohio

Shawneetown is a real live place, just beyond where the Ohio River meets the Wabash. :)
