"The Levee Song" in Carmina Princetonia, 1894. Pg 25. This is a medley of short songs with different tunes. The opening song is "I've Been Working on the Levee" is, of course, "I've Been working on the Railroad" variant. The "Sing a song o' the city; Roll dat cotton bale..." part of the medley has the same 3/4 tune as the "Old Beer Bottle / Sing a Song of Cities".
