I just heard that whistle blow
Gonna go down the river once more
Well, i've got my bag and i'm ready to go

Eat a little bacon, eat a little beans
Have a good time like i did before

Gonna quit my drinkin', gonna stay out of jail
Gonna go down the river once more

Yeah, my little woman's gonna say goodbye
Wavin' her hand with a tear in her eye
Leave these docks about a quarter to four

Gonna go down the river once more
Hey, i'll do a little dance with a riverboat band
Gonna go down the river once more

Hey, we'll shout and sing both night and day
I'll make my bed on the riverboat floor
Gonna go down the river once more
