Come smiling, Lindy Lowe,
The purtiest girl I know,
On the finest boat that ever float,
On the Ohio!
The Mississippi, on the Ohio!
Come smiling, Lindy Lowe,
To the bayous deep and slow,
Come smiling, Lindy Lowe,
To the Gulf of Mexico,
Come smiling, Lindy Lowe,
To the Louisiana shore,
Come smiling, Lindy Lowe,
‘Cause the bell done ring to go,
Come smiling, Lindy Lowe,
Before that whistle blow,
Come smiling, Lindy Lowe,
Come git on board, or row!
