The Boatman's Dance

Dance, boatman dance! Dance I say
Dance, boatman dance, dance all night till the break of day
The boatman dance, the boatman sing, the boatman do most anything.
And when the boatman get to shore, He rows his boat out on the dancing floor
Hi ho the boatman row, floatin' down the river on the Ohio!
Hi ho, the boat man row, up an down the river on the Ohio!
Grab your partner by the hand, grab em now I say
Grab em by their itty bitty hand, ya gonna swing 'em all the night into the
break of day
Swing your partner round and round, swing em round I say
Swing that gal up and down and and then you’re gonna bow to your corner as you
swing out the
whats-it and you steppin' on the whozit and ya toodle down the stairs and
you’re on the ground
wondering what in the heck does a boatman do anywhoose…
