Captain captain

Captain captain

Befo＇ I drive I drive old Slim Bill

Captain captain

Captain

Befo＇ I drive old Slim Bill

Lord I＇ll walk this good road

＇Till my ankle my ankles swell

You know I＇m so tired

I＇m so tired

This red rice and salmon

Lord an these black-eyed peas

You know I＇m so tired

I＇m so tired of red rice

Salmons and these black-eye＇d peas

Captain an these old hard-tack biscuits

I declare these killin＇ po＇ me

Are you goin＇ on yonder yonder

And you tell that big-hat man

Oh if you go down yonder down yonder

And you tell that big-hat man

Tell ＇em I＇m a-so tired a-these black molasses

Wit＇ that teddy bear standin＇ on a cane

Well down in L＇ousiana

Way down yonder behind the sun

Well down yonder in L＇ousiana

Way down behind the sun

Seem like to me that＇s where all-a my

My trouble first begun

Now some come here for ninety

And some come here for ninety-nine

Lord some men come for ninety

Some come here for ninety-nine

But Lord I come here to stay

Just as long as the sun shine

Now captain captain ooh

A-what＇s the matter that I can＇t see

Captain captain captain

What＇s the matter I can＇t -

I got a lifetime sentence here

Please please be light on me
