The boatman he can dance and sing
And he's the lad for any old thing.
Dance the boatman, dance!
Dance the boatman, dance!
He'll dance all night On his toes so light
And go down to his boat in the morning.
Hooraw the boatman, ho!
Spends his money with the gals ashore!
Hooraw the boatman, ho!
Rolling down the Ohio!
From Louisville down the Ohio,
He's known wherever them boats do go,
Dance the boatman, dance!
Dance the boatman, dance!
He'll drink and dance and kiss them all,
And away in his boat in the morning,
Hooraw the boatman, ho!
Spends his money with the gals ashore!
Hooraw the boatman, ho!
Rolling down the Ohio!
The girls all wait for boatman Bill,
For he's the one they all love still,
Dance the boatman, dance!
Dance the boatman, dance!
He'll buy them drinks and swing them high,
And leave in his boat in the morning.
Hooraw the boatman, ho!
Spends his money with the gals ashore!
Hooraw the boatman, ho!
Rolling down the Ohio!
