"General Jackson" lyrics
"General Jackson"
Down on the river, way down the river
I hear a whistle blow
Down on the landing, where I am standing
Down where the river flows
Down on the river, way down the river
I hear a show boat band
Big wheel a flashing, old General Jackson
Rolling on to Oprey Land
Young people dancing, old folks romancing
All to the country tune
Here at the rail, put out to sail
Under a southern moon

For he had many a mile to go that night
Before he reached the town-o, town-o, town-o
He had many a mile to go that...
The Infamous Stringdusters - "Poor Boy's Delight" Would you dance with me, Molly?
It's Saturday night
There's a chill in the air
Do you think that you might?
Wanna dance with me, Molly
To an old fiddle tune
Played soft like the wind
Thru Virginia in...
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - "Catfish John" Mama said: 'Don't go near that river'
'Don't be hanging around old Catfish John'
'Come the morning, I'd always be there'
'Walking in his footsteps in the sweet Delta dawn'.
Born a slave in the town...
