Don' let yo' watch run down, Cap'n,
Don' let yo' watch run down.
Wukhin’ on de levee, dollar 'n half a day,
Wukhin’ for my Luluh, gettin' mo' dan pay, Cap'n,
Gettin' mo' dan pay.
Don' let yo' watch run down, Cap'n,
Don' let yo' watch run down.
Wukhin’ on de railroad, mud up to my knees,
Wukhin’ for my Luluh, she's a hard ole gal to please, Cap'n,
She's a hard ole gal to please.
Don' let yo' watch run down, Cap'n,
Don' let yo' watch run down.
When you see me comin' haist yo' windo's high,
When you see me leavin' hang down yo' heads an' cry, brownskins,
Hang down yo' heads an' cry.
Don' let yo' watch run down.
Wukhin’ on de levee, dollar 'n half a day,
Wukhin’ for my Luluh, gettin' mo' dan pay, Cap'n,
Gettin' mo' dan pay.
Don' let yo' watch run down, Cap'n,
Don' let yo' watch run down.
Wukhin’ on de railroad, mud up to my knees,
Wukhin’ for my Luluh, she's a hard ole gal to please, Cap'n,
She's a hard ole gal to please.
Don' let yo' watch run down, Cap'n,
Don' let yo' watch run down.
When you see me comin' haist yo' windo's high,
When you see me leavin' hang down yo' heads an' cry, brownskins,
Hang down yo' heads an' cry.
