Sugar In The Hold

Well, I wish I was in Mobile Bay

Screwing cotton all the day

But I'm stowing sugar in the hold below

Below, below, below

Uh!

Hey, ho, below, below

Stowing sugar in the hold below

Hey, ho, below, below

Stowing sugar in the hold below

Well the J.M. White, she's a brand new boat

Stern to stem she's mighty fine

Can beat any boat on the New Orleans line

Stowing sugar in the hold below

Uh!

Hey, ho, below, below

Stowing sugar in the hold below

Hey, ho, below, below

Stowing sugar in the hold below

Well the engineer shouts through his trumpet

"Tell the mate we got bad news"

Can't get no steam for the fire in the flue

Stowing sugar in the hold below

Uh!

Hey, ho, below, below

Stowing sugar in the hold below

Hey, ho, below, below

Stowing sugar in the hold below

Well the captain's on the quarter deck

Scratchin' 'way at his old neck

He shouts out, "Heave the larboard lead!"

Stowing sugar in the hold below

Uh!

Hey, ho, below, below

Stowing sugar in the hold below

Hey, ho, below, below

Stowing sugar in the hold below

Ah!

Hey, ho, below, below

Stowing sugar in the hold below

Hey, ho, below, below

Stowing sugar in the hold below
