- Verse:
- I just dropped in to see
you all and say,
- I leave to -day, I'm on
my way;
- I'm go -in' back to sun
-ny Dix -ie -land,
- That's why I came to shake
you by the hand;
- The min -ute when I cross
the Dix -ie Line,
- No more I'll pine, won't
that be fine?
- Mis -ter Cap -tain, don't
fail me, just hur -ry and sail me,
- To that gal of mine:
-
- Chorus:
- Float -in' down, my hon
-ey, Float -in' down,
- Float -in' down the riv
-er in -to cot -ton town,
- Just hear that whis -tle
toot toot toot -in' a -way,
- Hear the folks all sing
-in' ban -jos ring -in' 'till the break of day,
- Hon -ey lamb, my lit -tle
hon -ey lamb,
- I'll come back to you in
Al -a -bam;
- While fields of sug -ar
cane, seem to wel -come me a -gain,
- Float -in' down to cot -ton
town.
