Riverboat Shuffle – Eddie Condon – letras

All you cotton toters, Mississippi floaters,Gather all about!Gather all about!Got some things to tell ya.Not a thing to sell ya.Listen and you’ll all find out.What I’m about to sayWill take your breath away,So, come a little closer,Just a little closer,Got a lotta news to shout!Say!Good people, you’re invited tonightTo the Riverboat Shuffle!Good people, we got rhythm tonightAt the Riverboat Shuffle!They tell me that slidepipe tooter is grand,Best in Loosianna;So bring your freighter, come and alligator that band.Mister Hawkins on the tenor!Good people, you’ll hear Milenberg JoysIn a special orches-stration!Even Mamma Dinah will be there to strut for the boysI’n a room full of noise.She’ll teach you to shuffle it right,So, bring your baby;
