作曲 : Stephen Foster/1860
 The Glendy Burk is a mighty fast boat,
 With a mighty fast captain too;
 He sits up there on the hurricane roof
 And he keeps his eye on the crew.
 I can't stay here, for the work's too hard;
 I'm bound to leave this town;
 I'll take my duds and tote 'em on my back
 When the Glendy Burk comes down.
 Ho! for Louisiana!
 I'm bound to leave this town;
 I'll take my duds and tote 'em on my back
 When the Glendy Burk comes down.
 The Glendy Burk has a funny old crew
 And they sing de boatman's song,
 They burn the pitch and the pine knot too,
 For to shove the boat along.
 The smoke goes up and the engine roars
 And the wheel goes round and round,
 So fair ye well for I'll take a little ride
 When de Glendy Burk comes down.
 Ho! for Louisiana!
 I'm bound to leave this town;
 I'll take my duds and tote 'em on my back
 When the Glendy Burk comes down.
 I'll work all night in de wind and storm,
 I'll work all day in de rain,
 Till I find myself on de levy dock
 In New Orleans again.
 Dey make me mow in de hay field here
 And knock my head wid de flail,
 I'll go wha dey work wid de sugar and de cane
 And roll on de cotton bale.
 Ho! for Louisiana!
 I'm bound to leave this town;
 I'll take my duds and tote 'em on my back
 When the Glendy Burk comes down.
 My lady love is as pretty as a pink,
 I'll meet her on de way
 I'll take her back to de sunny old south
 And dah I'll make her stay.
 So don't you fret my honey dear,
 Oh! don't you fret Miss Brown
 I'll take you back 'fore de middle of de week
 When de Glendy Burk comes down.
 Ho! for Louisiana!
 I'm bound to leave this town;
 I'll take my duds and tote 'em on my back
 When the Glendy Burk comes down.
 Ho! for Louisiana!
 I'm bound to leave this town;
 I'll take my duds and tote 'em on my back
 When the Glendy Burk comes down.
