Lindy Lowe

Words & music traditional

Come smiling Lindy Lowe,
The purtiest girl I know,

    On the finest boat, that ever float,
    On the O-hi-o!
    The Mississippi, on the O-hi-o!
Come smiling Lindy Lowe,
To the bayous deep and slow,
    On the finest boat ...
Come smiling Lindy Lowe,
To the Gulf of Mexico,
    On the finest boat ...
Come smiling Lindy Lowe,
o the Louisiana shore,
    On the finest boat ...
Come smiling Lindy Lowe,
'cause the bell done ring to go,
    On the finest boat ...
Come smiling Lindy Lowe,
Before that whistle blow,
    On the finest boat ...
Come smiling Lindy Lowe,
Come git on board, or row!
    On the finest boat ...

"Lindy Lowe" - here's an interesting Mississippi Riverboatman's song, collected by the famous American sailor/ author - Frederick Pease Harlow.
