Waiting For The Robert E. Lee Lyrics - Dean Martin

Way down on the levee in old Alabamy 

There's daddy and mammy, there's Efran and Sammy 

On a moonlight night you can find them all 

While they are waiting the banjos are syncopating 

What's that they're saying, what's that they're saying 

Well while they keep playing I'm humming and swaying 

It's the good ship Robert E. Lee that's come to carry the cotton away 

Watch them shuffle along 

See them shuffle along 

Oh take your best gal real pal go down to the levee 

I said the levee 

Join the shuffling throng 

Hear the music and song 

It's simply great mate waiting on the levee 

Waiting for the Robert E. Lee

Whistles are blowing smokestacks are showing 

The ropes they are throwing, excuse me I'm going 

To the place where all is harmonious 

Even the preacher they say is the dancing teacher 

Have you been down there say were you around there 

If you ever go there you'll always be found there 

Why doggone here comes my baby on the good ship Robert E. Lee
