John Gilbert Is The Boat

John Gilbert is a boat
 Di-dee o, di-dee o
 John Gilbert is a boat
 Di-dee o
 Runnin' in the Cincinnati trade
 You see that boat a-comin'
 Comin' 'round the bend
 Loaded down with cotton
 She's comin' in again
 John Gilbert is a boat
 Di-dee o, di-dee o

 She run peanuts and cotton
 And then she run so many
 Her men they run from her
 Never get a penny
 John Gilbert is a boat
 Di-dee o, di-dee o
 John Gilbert is a boat
 Di-dee o
 Runnin' in the Cincinnati trade
 You see that boat a-comin'
 She's comin' 'round the bend
 Loaded to the bottom
 With Louisiana men
 John Gilbert is a boat
 Di-dee o, di-dee o
 John Gilbert is a boat
 Di-dee o

 John Gilbert is a boat
 Di-dee o, di-dee o
 John Gilbert is a boat
