Long Hot Summer Days

歌詞

Gonna pick up some of these empties here Just as soon as we know where they lay Tied off of them jolly and leaving lines On a long hot summer day For every day I work on the Illinois River Get a half a day off with pay Old tow boat pickin' up barges On a long hot summer day Well I got me a gal in Pekin She's a good ol' gal okay I bet she's sitting by 'er window fan On a long hot summer day For every day I work on the Illinois River Get a half a day off with pay Old tow boat pickin' up barges On a long hot summer day Last night we had pork for supper Today it'll be chicken consomme And a fruit jar full of iced tea On a long hot summer day For every day I work on the Illinois River Get a half a day off with pay Old tow boat pickin' up barges On a long hot summer day Well we put a man off in Beardstown When we come down yesterday I'm gonna get off down at Alton On a long hot summer day For every day I work on the Illinois River Get a half a day off with pay Old tow boat pickin' up barges On a long hot summer day
