HUDSON RIVER STEAMBOAT RACE
Hudson River steamboat, steamin' up and down
New York to Albany or any river town
Choo-choo to go ahead, choo-choo to back 'er
Captain and the first mate, they both chew
tobacker
cho: Oh, choo-choo the Go Ahead, choo-choo the Slacker
Packet boat, towboat, and a double-stacker
Choo-choo to Tarrytown, Spuyten Duyvil all
around
Choo-choo to go ahead, choo-choo to back
'er
Shad boat, pickle boat, lyin' side by side
Fisherfolk and sailormen waitin' for the tide
Raincloud, stormcloud over yonder hill
Thunder on the Dunderberg _ the rumble's
in the kill
The Sedgwick was racin', and she lost all hope
Used up her steam on the big calliope
She was hoppin' right along, she was hoppin'
quick,
All the way from Stony Point to Popalopen
Creek
(final chorus):
Aww, choo-choo the Go Ahead, choo-choo the
slacker
Packet boat, towboat, and a double-stacker
New York to Albany, Rondout and Tivoli
Choo-choo to go ahead, choo-choo to
back 'er
I've heard it with the slight differences in the title and the "choo-choo" lines This is not a correction The original, as you had it, makes more sense
