Levee Lou
Levee Lou where are you?
Honey, don't you tell me I'm forgotten
I'm out here waiting near
Hiding right behind the bales of cotton
Moon is bright loving night
Down the stream the banjos come a-ringin'
Don't you tease come out please
Can't you hear me on my knees a-singin'?
Levee Lou when the southern moon is dreaming
I sit and dream of you
On the Mississippi shore while candle lights are gleaming, sighing, too!
Like a stemboat when it's steaming,
Oh how I want you, want you want you my Levee Lou.
Where's your ma where's your pa?
I got such a creepy kind of feeling
If they see you with me
They'll be chasing me for chicken stealing.
There's one hope we'll elope
Cuddle up, my honey, don't you shiver
We can float in my boat
While the moon is shining on the river.
Levee Lou when the southern moon is dreaming
I sit and dream of you
On the Mississippi shore while candle lights are gleaming, sighing, too!
Like a stemboat when it's steaming,
Oh how I want you, want you want you my Levee Lou.
