I think the following is a negro holler about waiting for the steamer boat carrying cotton to dock at some port on the Mississippi in the hopes of gettting work unloading the cotton bales.
but I can't find the anything about in a google search.

Following is all I know of the song:

Sittin by the river on the levee
Waitin for the sun to go down
Cotton mills are loadin mighty heavy
for miles and miles around
thought I heard the steamer when she landed
landed on the levee below
Sittin by the river on the levee
Waitin for the sun to go down

who built the ark, brother Noah Noah
who built the ark, brother Noah Noah
Broher the Noah built the ark
