So they talked and they talked 'til the moon grew dim And the boy said Kiss me or get out and swim So what'chu gonna do in a little canoe With the girl paddling all-a The boy swimming all-a The moon shining all around? Hey!" There're hand motions, too. The way I learned it was actually with the girl getting out and swimming, but I like this version better. |

On Tombigbee river so bright I was born, In a hut made of husks of the tall yaller corn, An there I first met with my Julia so true An I row'd her about In my Gum Tree Canoe Chorus: Singing row away row, O'er the waters so blue, Like a feather we'll float, In my Gum Tree Canoe All day in the field of soft cotton I hoe, I think of my Julia and sing as I go, Oh I catch her a bird, with a wing of true blue, An at night sail her round in my Gum Tree Canoe. Singing row away Chorus With my hands on the banjo and toe on the oar, I sing to the sound of the rivers soft roar; While the stars they look down at my Julia so true, An' dance in her eye in my Gum Tree Canoe. Singing row away sIx |
