In some book our family had when I was little, there was a "Levee Song" in alleged black dialect. The chorus went something like "I been wukkin' on de levee/ All de livelong day", etc., to the same tune as "I've been Working on the Railroad."

"Carmina Princetonia" means "Songs of Princeton"--presumably a songbook of favorites at Princeton College (now University).
