   You know a mile around the bend on the Ohio
  Coming up the river for the Sunday show
  There's a tuba and a banjo and a steam calliope
  Way in the back there's a big paddle wheel
  
  Chorus:
  What a thrill it musta been, playing Dixie for the folks
  Up and down the river on the first showboat
  What a thrill it musta been, playing Dixie for the folks
  Up and down the river on the first showboat
  
  Momma took the kids and papa took the lunch
  The kids took the bells and the whiskey took the drunks
  But the biggest thrill of all, you know it had to be
  Was sitting up front playing steam calliope
  
  Chorus
  
  Well there's magic in the air, they're fiddlin the rhymes
  It's slow and easy in the summertime
  Yeah, but who'd of ever thought, the day would come to be
  Where there's oil on the waters where the rivers used to be
  
  Chorus
  
  Yeah a mile around the bend on the Ohio
  Coming up the river for the Sunday show
  
  Chorus x3
