Sugar in the Hold

Well, I wish I was in Mobile Bay

Screwing cotton all the day

But I'm stowing sugar in the hold below

Below, below, below whuh!


Hey, ho, below, below

Stowing sugar in the hold below

Hey, ho, below, below

Stowing sugar in the hold below


Well the J.M. White, she's a new design

Stern to stem she's mighty fine

She can beat any ship on the New Orleans line

Stowing sugar in the hold below whuh!


Hey, ho, below, below

Stowing sugar in the hold below

Hey, ho, below, below

Stowing sugar in the hold below


Tell the mate we got bad news

Can't get no steam for the fire in the flue

Well the engineer he did bellow

Stowing sugar in the hold below whuh!


Hey, ho, below, below

Stowing sugar in the hold below

Hey, ho, below, below

Stowing sugar in the hold below


Well the captain's on the quarter deck

Scratching away at his old neck

Heave the larboard lead, and let her go

Stowing sugar in the hold below whuh!


Hey, ho, below, below

Stowing sugar in the hold below

Hey, ho, below, below

Stowing sugar in the hold below
