Lyrics[]

See the Show Boat
It's old Captain Andy's Cotton Blossom
Will you go?
Are you coming to the show?

'Twill be delightful
And quite rightfully we say
There's not a better show
From New Orleans to St. Jo

Captain Andy has gathered a troupe
In the greatest of dramas and jolly comedies
Stephen Baker, the handsomest leading man
And beautiful Julie La Verne as well

Cotton Blossom, Cotton Blossom
Captain Andy's floating show
Thrills and laughter, concert after
Everybody's sure to go

Leave the lumber in the sawmills
Leave the cotton on the stalks
Come and meet him, come and greet him
Captain Andy Hawks
