Stow'n' Sugar in de Hull Below
B. A Botkin, "Mississippi River Folklore", p. 592

Belle-a-Lee's got no time,
Oh, Belle! oh, Belle!
Robert E. Lee's got railroad time,
Oh, Belle! oh, Belle!

Wish I was in Mobile Bay,
Oh, Belle! oh, Belle!
Rollin' cotton by de day,
Oh, Belle! oh, Belle!

I wish I was in Mobile Bay,
Rollin' cotton by de day,
Stow'n' sugar in de hull below,
Below, belo-ow,
Stow'n' sugar in de hull below!

De Natchez is a new boat; she's just in her prime,
Beats any oder boat on de New Orleans line.
Stow'n' sugar in de hull below, &c.

Engineer, t'rough de trumpet, gives de fireman news,
Couldn't make steam for de fire in de flues.
Stow'n' sugar in de hull below, &c.

Cap'n on de biler deck, a scratchin' of his head,
Hollers to de deck hand to heave de larbo'rd lead.
Stow'n' sugar in de hull below. &c.

Note by Bodkin: "The following [the two above] are fragments of rather lengthy chants, the words being almost similar in both, but the choruses and airs being very different. The air of the first is sonorous and regularly slow, like a sailor's chant, when heaving anchor; the air of the next is quick and lively." Airs not given.

I haven't found these chants in my other references.
