Long Hot Summer Day
Well, I'm gonna pick up some of these empties, Lord
As soon as I find where they lay
Tied off them jolly and leavin' lines
On a long hot summer day, yeah
For every day I'm workin' on the Illinois River
Get a half a day off with pay
Old tow boat pickin' up barges
On a long hot summer day
Well, I got me a girl in Pekin
She's a good old girl, okay
Oh, she's sittin' there waitin' by a window fan
On a long hot summer day
For every day I'm workin' on the Illinois River
Get a half a day off with pay
Old tow boat pickin' up barges
On a long hot summer day
Well, last night we had pork for supper
And tomorrow it'll be chicken consommé
And a fruit jar full of iced tea
On a long hot summer day
And for every day I'm workin' on the Illinois River
Get a half a day off with pay
Old tow boat pickin' up barges
On a long hot summer day
Well, we dropped a man off in Beardstown
When we got off yesterday
Gonna get off down in Alton
On a long hot summer day
And for every day I'm workin' on the Illinois River
Get a half a day off with pay
Old tow boat pickin' up barges
On a long hot summer day
And for every day I'm workin' on the Illinois River
Get a half a day off with pay
Old tow boat pickin' up barges
On a long hot summer day
And for every day I'm workin' on the Illinois River
Get a half a day off with pay
Old tow boat pickin' up barges
On a long hot summer day
As soon as I find where they lay
Tied off them jolly and leavin' lines
On a long hot summer day, yeah
For every day I'm workin' on the Illinois River
Get a half a day off with pay
Old tow boat pickin' up barges
On a long hot summer day
Well, I got me a girl in Pekin
She's a good old girl, okay
Oh, she's sittin' there waitin' by a window fan
On a long hot summer day
For every day I'm workin' on the Illinois River
Get a half a day off with pay
Old tow boat pickin' up barges
On a long hot summer day
Well, last night we had pork for supper
And tomorrow it'll be chicken consommé
And a fruit jar full of iced tea
On a long hot summer day
And for every day I'm workin' on the Illinois River
Get a half a day off with pay
Old tow boat pickin' up barges
On a long hot summer day
Well, we dropped a man off in Beardstown
When we got off yesterday
Gonna get off down in Alton
On a long hot summer day
And for every day I'm workin' on the Illinois River
Get a half a day off with pay
Old tow boat pickin' up barges
On a long hot summer day
And for every day I'm workin' on the Illinois River
Get a half a day off with pay
Old tow boat pickin' up barges
On a long hot summer day
And for every day I'm workin' on the Illinois River
Get a half a day off with pay
Old tow boat pickin' up barges
On a long hot summer day
