Tekst piosenki
Yeah a mile around the bend down the Ohio
Comin up the river for the Sunday show
There’s a tuba and a banjo and a steam calliope
Sittin on the deck of the big paddlewheel
What a thrill it must have been play in Dixie for the folks
Up and down the river on the first showboat
What a thrill it must have been play in Dixie for the folks
Up and down the river on the first showboat
Yeah well poppa took the kids, momma took the lunch
The gents took the belles and the whiskey took the drunks
But the biggest thrill of all you know it had to be Way up front playin steam calliope
What a thrill it must have been play in Dixie for the folks
Up and down the river on the first showboat
What a thrill it must have been playin Dixie for the folks
Up and down the river on the first showboat
Yeah there’s magic in the air riddle in the rhymes
Slow and easy in the summertime
Yeah an who’d a ever thought it could come to be That Jim Crows flyin where the eagle ought to be
Tłumaczenie tekstu piosenki
Yeah a mile around the bend down the Ohio
Coming up the river for the Sunday show
Jest tuba, banjo i para Kalliope.
Sittin on the deck of the big paddlewheel
Co za dreszczyk musiał być grać w Dixie dla ludzi
Up and down the river on the first showboat
Co za dreszczyk musiał być grać w Dixie dla ludzi
Up and down the river on the first showboat
Tata zabrał dzieci, a mama lunch.
Panowie zabrali dzwoneczki, a whiskey pijaków.
Ale największy dreszczyk z tego, co wiesz, musiał być z przodu, grając w parze calliope.
Co za dreszczyk musiał być grać w Dixie dla ludzi
Up and down the river on the first showboat
Co za dreszczyk musiał być, gdy grałem w Dixie dla ludzi.
Up and down the river on the first showboat
Tak jest magia w powietrzu zagadka w rymach
Slow and easy in the summertime
Kto by pomyślał, że Jim Crows lata tam, gdzie Orzeł powinien być
