You can find a recording of this Dixieland song to listen to if you like but here are the lyrics as I've patiently tried to transcribe them: As led by John Gordy (1904-1961) with Hots Jackson & The Old-Timers band, ©1952 Steamboat, Blow Your Whistle Again Steamboat, laid low again, Black smoke, around the bend, Steaming down the river past a million scenes, Loaded down with cotton bales bound for New Orleans; Steamboat, where have you gone? Where is your lonesome song? Like a mighty organ plays an old refrain Your whistle blew away my cares an’ lonely pain; Steamboat, blow your whistle again! (Musical interlude) Steamboat, please go again, Black smoke, around the bend, Steaming down the river past a million scenes, Loaded down with cotton bales for New Orleans; Steamboat, where have you gone? Where is your lonesome song? Like a mighty organ plays an old refrain Your whistle blew away my cares an’ lonely pain; Steamboat, blow your whistle again! (Musical interlude) Steamboat, where you gone? Where is your lonesome song? Like a mighty organ plays an old refrain Your whistle blew away my cares an’ lonely pain; Steamboat, blow your whistle, blow your whistle, blow your whistle again! Cheerily, Charlie Ipcar
