Showboat

Well look what's going down the river now
 Big steam whistle gonna blow, man, blow
 Look what's going down the river now
 Let the wheels stop turning, let the anchors go
 Show boat, pretty boat, stop a while
 Make a little music for the baby to smile
 Show boat, pretty boat, you and me
 Gonna sail on down to the shiny sea
 ♪
 They go down the fields to the sandy shore
 Lay down the plough, leave the milk in the cow
 down from the fields to the sandy shore
 Just to look at what's going down the river now
 Master's in the cabin with his head hung low
 The tide's been a-turning but the boat won't go
 Hit rock bottom, left high and dry
 Down in the delta where the river runs high
 There's a church on my hill, got a brand new choir
 Got a big bell tower and it's burnin' hot fire
 The graveyard's empty and the book's been closed
 Don't pass the plate, just put down the rose
 The baby's in the cradle rockin' to and fro
 Gonna get out the valley so the shadow don't grow
 And if that brand new choir don't sing
 I'm gonna get that baby a bell to ring
