whoa back buck, stewball
i'm silver city bound
sail on little girl sail on
in the evening when the sun goes down 

[chorus]

we're in the same boat brother
blue tail fly and jean harlow
fiddler's dream, leadbelly's dance
bottle up and go

six takes us up to seven
and the songs will take us all to heaven
eight, nine and ten
turn around and sing a couple more again
