  • Have you ever stood beneath a Dixie sky,
  • Seen those steamboats
  • with their cargoes loaded high;
  • Watched a happy husky dusky having fun,
  • Toiling daily in the balzing sun.

  • He's just a Stevedore,
  • Down on that Swanee shore,
  • Working and singing a song;
  • He's dusky brow is wet,
  • He doesn't mind the sweat,
  • Ascuffaling all the day long;
  • See his ragtime scuffaling gait.
  • Happy 'cause he's handling freight,
  • The leevee's heaven for,
  • The Dusky Stevedore.
  • Working and singing a song.

  • He's just a Stevedore.
  • Down on that Swanee shore,
  • Working and singing a song;
  • It's just those songs he sings.
  • That make his cares take wings,
  • They help ease the hours along.
  • Tho' his life's one rocky road,
  • He croons tunes that lighten his load,
  • Why can't we all be more
  • Like that old Stevedore,
  • Working and singing a song.

  • On the levee, ev'ry day's a perfect day,
  • Nature taught him how to laugh his cares away.
  • Just a grown up child who's happy all the while,
  • Even when he's weary he can smile.

  • He's just a Stevedore,
  • Down on that Swanee shore,
  • Working and singing a song;
  • He's dusky brow is wet,
  • He doesn't mind the sweat,
  • Ascuffaling all the day long;
  • See his ragtime scuffaling gait.
  • Happy 'cause he's handling freight,
  • The leevee's heaven for,
  • The Dusky Stevedore.
  • Working and singing a song.

  • He's just a Stevedore.
