A, Bm, C#m, D, Eb

E                       A     D
Showboat coming up the river
         F#m             E               A
See her lanterns flicker in the gentle breeze
E                                      A        D
I can hear the crickets singing in the evening
     F#m        G               D
Old Dixie Lily moving past the cypress trees

E                         A    D
My little boat she rocks easy
           F#m             E                 A
I've been catching catfish in the creek all day
             E                                   A         D
Oh and I've never seen ladies like those on the big boats
         F#m            G                  D
Must be fancy breeding lets you live that way

A                             D
Dixie Lily, chugging like a grand old lady
 A                                   E
Paddles hitting home in the noonday sun
  A                    G     F#m                 F
Ploughing through the water with your whistles blowing
 F#m            E                     A   Bm  C#m  D  Eb
Down from Louisiana on the Vicksburg run

E                      A      D
Papa says that I'm a dreamer
            F#m          E             A
Says them skeetas bit me one too many times
          E                                A     D
Oh but I never get lonesome living on the river
 F#m               G                 D
Watching old Lily leave the world behind

A                             D
Dixie Lily, chugging like a grand old lady
 A                                   E
Paddles hitting home in the noonday sun
  A                    G     F#m                 F
Ploughing through the water with your whistles blowing
 F#m            E                     A   Bm  C#m  D  Eb
Down from Louisiana on the Vicksburg run

E, A, D
F#m, E, A
E, A, D
F#m, G, D

      A                             D
Oooh, Dixie Lily, chugging like a grand old lady
 A                                   E
Paddles hitting home in the noonday sun
  A                    G     F#m                 F
Ploughing through the water with your whistles blowing
 F#m            E                     A   D
Down from Louisiana on the Vicksburg run, oooh
