The boatman dance, the boatman sing The boatman do most anything. And when the boatman get on shore, He spends his money, and he works for more. 
Chorus: Dance, boatman dance! Dance, boatman dance. O dance all night till broad daylight And go home with the gals in de morning. Hey, ho, the boatman row, sailin’ on the river on the Ohio! Hey, ho, the boatman row, sailin’ on the river on the Ohio! 
I’ve never seen a pretty girl in my life But that she’d be some boatman’s wife. When the boatman blows his horn, Look out, old man, your daughter’s gone; 
Chorus: 
When you go to the boatman’s ball, Dance with my wife or not at all; Sky-blue jacket and tarpaulin hat, Look out, my boys, for the nine tail cat. 
Chorus:
