The old cylinder recording of Steamboat Bill can be heard here: http://cylinders.library.ucsb.edu/search.php?queryType=@attr%201=1016&query=Steamboat+Bill&num=1&start=1&sortBy=&sortOrder=id There are two verses and a chorus missing in the DT and on this thread. It is the 2nd and 3rd verse and the second chorus. Bill he gave the signal for to ------ on steam Loudly blew his whistle just to clear the stream The sky along the river was a-getting mighty black From the smoke that came a-rolling from the old smokestack Listen says the fireman to Steamboat Bill We haven't coal enough aboard the boilers to fill Billy quickly told him as he gave the wheel a turn Feed the boilers with the ------ 'till we get coal to burn Steamboat Bill tearing down the Mississippi Steamboat Bill, my how Billy cussed Steamboat Bill tearing down the Mississippi Got to beat that record if the boilers bust There are a couple of words that I can't catch so I would appriciate someone filling them in! Thanks, Sandy
