Sailing Down the Chesapeake Songtext
von Revival

Come on Nancy, I′m getting antsy
Ain't been so excited for about a year
Listen to the whistle blowing ′round that bend
I think she's gettin' near

Oh, ′round the bend I see the steamer comin′ dear
Headin' here right to this pier
And if you hurry, we will make it, never fear
On the old Dominion Line

Oh look now, ain′t she sailin' pretty as she hugs the shore
She′s a steamin' for good old Baltimore
Hear the paddle turnin′ and hear the water churnin'
She's the queen of Chesapeake Bay
Hear the whistle blowin′, we′ll soon be goin'
To Baltimore today


Oh honey, come on Nancy, put your best dress on
Honey, come on Nancy, ′fore the steamboat's gone
Yes, everything is lovely on the Chesapeake Bay

All aboard for Baltimore and if we′re late, then I'll be sore
Look here captain, let us catch that boat
We can′t swim and listen, we can't float

Boats are hummin' a good old tune
Up on deck there′s a place to spoon
So cuddle up close beneath the silvery moon
Sailin′ down the Chesapeake Bay

Now listen to the whistle blowin', everything is fine
Mighty fine
Everyone is sailin′ on the old Dominion Line
Everything is fine
On the old Dominion Line
