Lyrics
Old Dollar Mamie told-a
Old Dollar Bob, well-a,
Old Dollar Mamie told-a
Old Dollar Bob, Well-a,
Old Dollar Mamie told-a
Old Dollar Bob, well-a,
Well the dress she wanted cost a
A dollar a yard, well-a,
O a dollar a yard baby
A dollar a yard, well-a,
Well the dress she wanted cost a
A dollar a yard, well-a.

Well, you hush, Hush, Mamie, don’t you, don’t say na’r a word, well you, (3)
Well, you shall have it, if it’s in this world, well-a,
Well, in this world, baby in this world, well,
Well, you shall have it, if it’s in this world, well-a.

And Dollar Mamie turn her head and smile, well-a, (3)
You could hear her call, well-a for a level mile, well-a,
A level mile, well-a, a level mile, well-a,
You could hear her call, well-a for a level mile, well-a.

Well, I’m goin’ to Memphis, well-a when I get my roll, well-a, (3)
Stand on the levee, well-a hear the big boats blow, well-a,
The Big boats blow, well-a, the big boats blow, well-a,
Stand on the levee, well-a hear the big boats blow, well-a.

The Kate left Memphis with-a, with a hundred men, well-a, (3)
In Arkansas City, she didn’t, didn’t have but ten, well-a,
Didn’t have but ten, well-a, didn’t have but ten, well-a,
In Arkansas City, well-a, didn’t have but ten, well-a.

Well, you raise ‘em up higher, let ’em let ‘em drop on down, well you, (3)
You won’t know the difference, when the when the sun go down, well,
When the sun go down, well-a when the sun go down, well,
You won’t know the difference, when the when the sun go down, well-a.
