General Jackson Lyrics

General Jackson
John Hartford
Down On The River
Banjo tuned E, Capo 3, Key E
All verses same progression
Down on the river, way down the river
I hear a whistle blow
Down on the landing, where I am standing
Down where the river flows
Chorus 1:
Down on the river, way down the river
I hear a show boat band
Big wheel a flashing, old General Jackson
Rolling on to Oprey Land
Chorus 2:
Young people dancing, old folks romancing
All to the country tune
Here at the rail, put out to sail
Under a southern moon
Instrumental:
Chorus 1:
Chorus 2:
