Artist/Band: Wayne Newton
Lyrics for Song: Waiting For The Robert E. Lee
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Wayne Newton



Way down on the levy in old Alabamy

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 gal, real pal

Go down to the levy, I said to the levy,

And join that shuffling throng

Hear that music and song!

It's simply great, mate, waiting on the levy

Waiting for the Robert E. Lee!

The whistles are blowing, the smokestacks are showing

The ropes they are throwing, excuse me I'm going

To the place where all is harmonious

Even the preacher, he is the dancing teacher!

Have you been down there?

Were you around there?

If you ever go there you'll always be found there,

Why, dog-gone, here comes my baby

On the good old Robert E. Lee!

Watch them shuffling along,

See them shuffling along

Go take your best gal, real pal

Go down to the levy, I said to the levy,

And join that shuffling throng

Hear that music and song!

It's simply great, mate, waiting on the levy

Waiting for the Robert E. Lee!
