Floatin’ Down to Cotton Town

Lyrics

Floatin' down Floatin' down Floatin' down Floatin' down Down to Cotton Town Floatin' down, my honey, floatin' down Floatin' down the river down to Cotton Town Just hear that whistle toot-toot-tootin' away And those voices singin', banjos ringin' 'til the break of day Honey lamb, my little honey lamb I'll come back to you in Alabam' While fields of sugar cane seem to welcome me again Floatin' down to Cotton Town I just dropped in to see you all and say I leave today, I'm on my way (I'm goin' back) I'm goin' back to sunny Dixieland That's why I came to shake you by the hand (The minute when) The minute when I cross that Dixie Line No more I'll pine, won't that be fine? Mister Captain, don't fail me, just hurry and sail me To that boy of mine Floatin' down, my honey, floatin' down Floatin' down the river down to Cotton Town Just hear that whistle toot-toot-tootin' away And those voices singin', banjos ringin' 'til the break of day Honey lamb, my little honey lamb I'll come back to you in Alabam' While fields of sugar cane seem to welcome me again Floatin' down to Cotton Town Floatin' down, my honey, floatin' down I'm floatin' down to Cotton Town
