"Shawneetown" lyrics

Some rows up
But we floats down
Way down the Ohio
To Shawneetown

And it's hard on the beech oar
She moves too slow
Way down to Shawneetown
On the Ohio

Whisky's in the jug, boys
And wheat's in the sack
We'll trade 'em down to Shawneetown
And we'll bring the rock salt back

And it's hard on the beech oar
She moves too slow
Way down to Shawneetown
On the Ohio

Oh, them good old boys
They talk so loud and long
They're wide as a barrel
And they're twice as strong

And it's hard on the beech oar
She moves too slow
Way down to Shawneetown
On the Ohio

The water's mighty warm, boys
The air is cold and dank
And the cursed fog, it gets so thick
You cannot see the bank

And it's hard on the beech oar
She moves too slow
Way down to Shawneetown
On the Ohio

Now the current's got her
And we'll take up the slack
We'll sail her down to Shawneetown
And we'll bushwhack her back

And it's hard on the beech oar
She moves too slow
Way down to Shawneetown
On the Ohio

Some rows up
But we floats down
Way down the Ohio
To Shawneetown

And it's hard on the beech oar
She moves too slow
Way down to Shawneetown
On the Ohio

And it's hard on the beech oar
She moves too slow
Way down to Shawneetown
On the Ohio

Way down to Shawneetown
On the Ohio
