Roustabout

Well, it's a long long way
It's a long long way
To the Gulf of Mexico



    Well, I make my home on the Mississippi
    I'm a roustabout on a Steamboat line
    Let's hit the deck on a Monday morning
    Let's make the lock on a Saturday night



Well, I have me a gal way down in Vicksburg
And she used to stop every time I passed
Then she made off with a little rich man
With a new silk suit and a little mustache
