1. De Glendy Burk is a mighty fast boat
Wid a mighty fast captain too
He sits up dah on de hurricane roof
And he keeps his eye on de crew
I cant stay here, for dey work too hard;
I\u2019m bound to leave dis town
I\u2019ll take my duds and tote \u2019em on my back
When de Glendy Burk comes down<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chorus
Ho! for Lou\u2019siana!
I\u2019m bound to leave dis town
I\u2019ll take my duds and tote \u2019em on my back
When de Glendy Burk comes down<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. De Glendy Burk has a funny old crew
And dey sing de boatman\u2019s song
Dey burn de pitch and de pine knot too
For to shove de boat along
De smoke goes up and de ingine roars
And de wheel goes round and round
So fair you well! for I\u2019ll take a little ride
When de Glendy Burk comes down<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. I\u2019ll work all night in de wind and storm
I\u2019ll work all day in de rain
Till I find myself on de levy-dock
In New Orleans again
Dey make me mow in de hay field here
And knock my head wid de flail
I\u2019ll go wha dey work wid de sugar and de cane
And roll on the cotton bale<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. My lady love is as pretty as a pink
I\u2019ll meet her on de way
I\u2019ll take her back to de sunny old south
And dah I\u2019ll make her stay
So dont you fret my honey dear
Oh! dont you fret Miss Brown
I\u2019ll take you back \u2019fore de middle of de week
When de Glendy Burk comes down<\/p>\n\n\n\n
