[00:00:00] Waiting for the Robert E. Lee - Kathy Kirby

[00:00:01] Written by：Gilbert/Mills

[00:00:05] Way down on the levy in old Alabamy

[00:00:08] There's Daddy and Mammy

[00:00:10] There's Ephraim and Sammy

[00:00:12] On a moonlight night you can find them all

[00:00:15] While they are waiting

[00:00:17] The banjos are syncopating

[00:00:18] What's that they're saying

[00:00:20] What's that they're saying

[00:00:22] While they keep playing

[00:00:23] A - humming and swaying

[00:00:24] It's the good ship Robert E. Lee

[00:00:27] That's come to carry the cotton away

[00:00:32] Watch them shuffling along

[00:00:35] See them shuffling along

[00:00:38] Go take your best gal real pal

[00:00:42] Go down to the levy I said to the levy

[00:00:45] And join that shuffling throng

[00:00:49] Hear that music and song

[00:00:52] It's simply great mate waiting on the levy

[00:00:56] Waiting for the Robert E. Lee

[00:00:59] The whistles are blowing the smokestacks are showing

[00:01:03] The ropes they are throwing excuse me I'm going

[00:01:06] To the place where all is harmonious

[00:01:10] Even the preacher he is the dancing teacher

[00:01:13] Have you been down there

[00:01:15] Were you around there

[00:01:16] If you ever go there you'll always be found there

[00:01:20] Why dog-gone here comes my baby

[00:01:23] On the good old Robert E. Lee

[00:01:26] Watch them shuffling along

[00:01:30] See them shuffling along

[00:01:33] Go take your best gal real pal

[00:01:37] Go down to the levy I said to the levy

[00:01:41] And join that shuffling throng

[00:01:44] Hear that music and song

[00:01:47] It's simply great mate waiting on the levy

[00:01:51] Waiting for the Robert E. Lee
