Boatmen, The

Song Lyrics & Words

Oh, the boatmen dance and the sing
The boatmen do most any old thing
When a boatman lands on shore
He spends all his money and he works for more

Chorus:
Hi-ho the boatmen row
Up and down the river on the O-HI-O
Hi-ho the boatmen row
Up and down the river on the O-HI-O

Have you ever seen the place where a boatman lives
In a house in a hall with a roof like a sieve
Oh the boatman swears if he had one wish
If he'd get any wetter he'd want to be a fish
