Levee Lou

Levee Lou where are you? Honey, don't you tell me I'm forgotten I'm out here waiting near Hiding right behind the bales of cotton

Moon is bright loving night Down the stream the banjos come a-ringin' Don't you tease come out please Can't you hear me on my knees a-singin'?

Levee Lou when the southern moon is dreaming I sit and dream of you On the Mississippi shore while candle lights are gleaming, sighing, too! Like a stemboat when it's steaming, Oh how I want you, want you want you my Levee Lou.

Where's your ma where's your pa? I got such a creepy kind of feeling If they see you with me They'll be chasing me for chicken stealing.

There's one hope we'll elope Cuddle up, my honey, don't you shiver We can float in my boat While the moon is shining on the river.

Levee Lou when the southern moon is dreaming I sit and dream of you On the Mississippi shore while candle lights are gleaming, sighing, too! Like a stemboat when it's steaming, Oh how I want you, want you want you my Levee Lou.
