Down along the wheezy in a bayou Jeffery sits and sings his song Sail away with Lily-Anne who loves to leave him there where he belongs
I, I love you, Mama, let it be only me as your man and if you can Can love me, Mama, up town, hoe-down, go 'round dancing with me
Move along the sleepy river, ship along reflections of the moon Take advantage of the evening Lily have, but early wants too soon
The hours are waiting, Mama, let me know can I go on with you Or do I run, run dig-down, Mama, up town, hoe-down, go 'round dancing with me Go dancing with me, go dancing with me..
