Well, I worked on the levee

'Till I went stone blind

Well, I worked on the levee, baby

'Till I went stone blind

Well, you can't do me

Like you done po' Shine

Lord, you took his money

I declare, you can't take mine

Captain, come out drive him

And he won't go long all around

How can I drive him, Captain

And he won't go long all around?

He won't eat no oatsmeal or

He won't even eat his corn

I'm a long line skinner

I got the shortest line

I'm a long time skinner

I got the shortest line

I'm a long line skinner

But I've got the shortest line

Well, I worked on levee

Honey, an I worked old Belle

Well, I worked old Lou Captain

Lordy, an I worked old Belle

I couldn't find a mule

Lord, with a shoulder well

Lord, that captain hollerin, 'Hurry'

Boy, you know I'm almost flyin

Well, that captain hollerin, 'Hurry'

Lordy and I'm almost flyin'

Lord, he ain't gotta worry a bit, baby

He won't even keep time.

(guitar to end)
