The Amazing Rhythm Aces - The "Ella B" lyrics

Have you ever took a boat ride Down the Mississippi Well, if you do You oughta take it on the Ella B Yes, she starts off in St. Louis Missouri And she takes you down to New Orleans And on out to the sea Well you heard about the good Queen Mary Sailin' on the seven seas But you ain't never took no boat ride Till you been ridin' on the Ella B Her accomodations are among the best You get three square meals a day And a place to rest We can just smells them ole hot biscuits And that country ham That old fried chicken, Mash potatoes and the candied yam Well you heard about the Constitution Fightin' the revolutionary war Well? America's inland neighbor She's the finest runnin' shore to shore Mmmm...it takes about a week To get back down that there river But once you get on board You can wish it would last forever Oh you just sit out on the deck And fish off the side all day Watch the sunny south land roll on by And dream your blues away Well you heard about the ship Titanic A sailin' on the northern sea But you ain't never took no boat ride Till you been ridin' on the Ella B B - eee- b-eee hee hee B - eee
