Unknown - Hudson River Steamer Lyrics




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.
