Текст песни Waiting For the Robert E. Lee - Al Jolson

Way down on the levy, in old Alabama
There's daddy and mammy
There's Ephraim 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?
While they keep playing, a-humming and swaying
It's the good ship, Robert E. Lee
That's come to carry the cotton away

Watch them shuffling along
See them shuffling along
Go take your best girl, your real pal
Go down to the levy, I said to the levy
Join that shuffling throng
Hear that music and song

It's simply great, mate, waiting on the levy
Waiting for the Robert E. Lee

Watch them shuffling along
See them shuffling along
Go take your best girl, your real pal
Go down to the levy, I said to the levy
Join that shuffling throng
Hear that music and song

It's simply great, mate, waiting on the levy
Waiting for the Robert E. Lee
