All you cotton toters,
All individuals carrying cotton.
Mississippi floaters,
People floating on the Mississippi River.
Gather all about!
Everyone, gather around!
Gather all about!
Reiteration of the call for gathering.
Got some things to tell ya.
There are important things to share.
Not a thing to sell ya.
No intention to sell anything.
Listen and you'll all find out.
Listen, and you will discover the information.
What I'm about to say
Preparing the audience for significant news.
WIll take your breath away,
The upcoming revelation will astonish you.
So, come a little closer,
Asking the audience to come closer.
Just a little closer,
Repetition of the request for closeness.
Got a lotta news to shout! Say!
Excitement about sharing a lot of news.
Good people, you're invited tonight
Invitation to the audience for the Riverboat Shuffle event.

Reiteration of the invitation, emphasizing rhythm.
Good people, we got rhythm tonight
Assurance of having rhythm at the Riverboat Shuffle.

They tell me that slidepipe tooter is grand,
Praise for a skilled slidepipe tooter in Louisiana.

Describing the excellence of the mentioned musician.
So bring your freighter, come and alligator that band.
Encouraging everyone to bring their belongings and enjoy the music.

Good people, you'll hear Milenberg Joys
Reassuring the audience about the performance of Milenberg Joys.

Highlighting a special orchestration of Milenberg Joys.
Even Mamma Dinah will be there to strut for the boys
Even Mamma Dinah will be present, entertaining the audience.

Anticipating a noisy and lively atmosphere in the room.
She'll teach you to shuffle it right,
Suggesting Mamma Dinah will teach the audience to dance or shuffle correctly.

Encouraging attendees to bring their babies to the event.
