John Gilbert Is The Boat Lyrics - Singles - Peggy Seeger

John Gilbert is a boat 

Di-dee o, di-dee o 

John Gilbert is a boat 

Di-dee o 

Runnin' in the Cincinnati trade 

You see that boat a-comin' 

Comin' 'round the bend 

Loaded down with cotton 

She's comin' in again 

John Gilbert is a boat 

Di-dee o, di-dee o 

John Gilbert is a boat 

Di-dee o 

Runnin' in the Cincinnati trade 

She run peanuts and cotton 

And then she run so many 

Her men they run from her 

Never get a penny 

John Gilbert is a boat 

Di-dee o, di-dee o 

John Gilbert is a boat 

Di-dee o 

Runnin' in the Cincinnati trade 

You see that boat a-comin' 

She's comin' 'round the bend 

Loaded to the bottom 

With Louisiana men 

John Gilbert is a boat 

Di-dee o, di-dee o 

John Gilbert is a boat 

Di-dee o 

Runnin' in the Cincinnati trade 

John Gilbert is a boat 

Di-dee o, di-dee o 

John Gilbert is a boat 

Di-dee o 

Runnin' in the Cincinnati trade
