E A D
Showboat coming up the river
F#m E A
See her lanterns flicker in the gentle breeze

I can hear the crickets singing in the evening
F#m G D
Old Dixie Lily moving past the cypress trees

E A D
My little boat she rocks easy
F#m E A
I've been catching catfish in the creek all day
E A D
Oh and I've never seen ladies like those on the big boats
F#m G D
Must be fancy breeding lets you live that way

A D
Dixie Lily, chugging like a grand old lady
A E
Paddles hitting home in the noonday sun
A G F#m F
Ploughing through the water with your whistles blowing
F#m E A Bm C#m D Eb
Down from Louisiana on the Vicksburg run

Papa says that I'm a dreamer
F#m E A
Says them skeetas bit me one too many times
E A D
Oh but I never get lonesome living on the river

Watching old Lily leave the world behind

Dixie Lily, chugging like a grand old lady
