I Think the one you mean is... (not necessarily in the order below)

The sun rolls up as we roll down
way down the Ohio to Shawnee town

(CH)hard on the beach oar, she moves too slow
Way down to Shawnee town on the Ohio

There's whisky in the jar boys there's sugar in the sack
We'll pole her down to Shawnee town and bullywhack her back

The waters mighty deep boys the weathers cold and dank
sometimes the fogs so thick that you cannot see the bank

Ive got a wife in Louisville and another In New Orleans
But when I get to Shawnee town I'll see my indian queen

There may be more but I can't remember it offhand. You can hear it on Simpsons "Sad or High Kicking" album
