Gum Tree Canoe

On Tombigbee river so bright I was born,

In a hut made ob husks ob de tall yaller corn,

An dar I fust meet wid my Jula so true

An I row'd her about In my Gum Tree CanoeChorus:

Singing row away row, O'er the waters so blue,

Like a feather we'll float, In my Gum Tree CanoeAll day in de field de soft cotton I hoe,

I tink of my Jula an sing as I go,

Oh I catch her a bird, wid a wing ob true blue,

An at night sail her round in my Gum Tree Canoe.

Singing row awayChorusWid my hands on de banjo and toe on de oar,

I sing to de sound ob the rivers soft roar;

While de stars dey look down at my Jula so true,

An' dance in her eye in my Gum Tree Canoe.

Singing row awayChorus
