Riverboat Shuffle
Riverboat Revelry: Unveiling the Hidden Tales of Mississippi's Rhythmic Secrets
Lyrics
All you cotton toters,
All individuals who carry cotton.
Mississippi floaters,
People floating on the Mississippi River.
Gather all about!
Everyone, gather around!
Gather all about!
Repeated emphasis on gathering.
Got some things to tell ya.
There are things to share with you.
Not a thing to sell ya.
No intention to sell anything.
Listen and you'll all find out.
Listen, and you will find out.
What I'm about to say
Introducing an important message.
WIll take your breath away,
This revelation will be surprising.
So, come a little closer,
Come closer to hear.
Just a little closer,
Repeated emphasis on proximity.
Got a lotta news to shout! Say!
Excitement about sharing significant news.
Good people, you're invited tonight
Invitation to good people for an event tonight.
To the Riverboat Shuffle!
It's the Riverboat Shuffle.
Good people, we got rhythm tonight
Emphasizing the presence of rhythm.
At the Riverboat Shuffle!
Confirmation of rhythm at the Riverboat Shuffle.
They tell me that slidepipe tooter is grand,
Praising a skilled slidepipe tooter in Louisiana.
Best in Loosianna;
Highlighting the exceptional quality.
So bring your freighter, come and alligator that band.
Encouraging people to bring their boat and join the band.
Mister Hawkins on the tenor!
Introduction of Mr. Hawkins playing the tenor.
Good people, you'll hear Milenberg Joys
Assurance that Milenberg Joys will be heard in a special arrangement.
In a special orches-stration!
Mention of Mamma Dinah participating in the festivities.
Even Mamma Dinah will be there to strut for the boys
She will perform confidently in a lively environment.
I'n a room full of noise.
The atmosphere will be vibrant and noisy.
She'll teach you to shuffle it right,
Mamma Dinah will teach the proper way to shuffle.
So, bring your baby;
Encouraging attendees to bring their babies.
