I got a wife and five little chillun I'm gonna take a trip on the big McMillan With Saro Jane Saro Jane Ain't nothin' to do But to set down and sing And rock about my Saro Jane
The boiler busted and the whistle squall The Captain gone through the hole-in-the-wall Oh Saro Jane Saro Jane Ain't nothin' to do But to set down and sing And rock about my Saro Jane
The engine give a crack and the whistle gave a squall The engineer gone to the hole-in-the-wall Saro Jane Saro Jane Ain't nothin' to do But to set down and sing And rock about my Saro Jane
Yankee built boats to shoot them Rebels My gun's steady gonna hold it level Saro Jane Saro Jane But to set down and sing And rock about my Saro Jane
I got a wife and five little chillun I'm gonna take a trip on the big McMillan Saro Jane Saro Jane Ain't nothin' to do But to set down and sing And rock about my Saro Jane
