Carmina Princetonia/Levee Song

(SOLO) I once did know a girl named Grace-- (QUARTET) I'm wukkin' on de levee; (SOLO) She done brung me to dis sad disgrace (QUARTET) O' wukkin' on de levee. I been wukkin' on de railroad All de livelong day, I been wukkin' on de railroad Ter pass de time away. Doan' yuh hyah de whistle blowin'? Ris up, so uhly in de mawn; Doan' yuh hyah de cap'n shouin', "Dinah, blow yo' hawn?" Sing a song o' the city; Roll dat cotton bale; Niggah aint half so happy As when he's out o' jail Norfolk foh its oystahshells, Boston foh its beans, Chahleston foh its rice an' cawn, But foh niggahs New Awleens.
