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