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
