[singing]
Darkies all work on de Mississippi, Darkies all work while de white folks play, Pullin' dose boats from de dawn to sunset, Gittin' no rest till de judgement day Black Chorus:
Don't look up an' don't look down, You don' dar'st make de white boss frown, Bend your knees an' bow your head, An' pull dat rope until you're dead Joe:
Let me go 'way from the Mississippi, Let me go 'way from de white man boss, Show me dat stream called de river Jordan, Dat's de ol' stream dat I long to cross
