Gonna pick up some of them empties here

Just as soon as we know where they lay

Tied off of them jolly and leaving lines

On a long hot summer day



For every day I work on the Illinois River

Get a half a day off with pay

All day long I'm makin' up barges

On a long hot summer day



Well I got me a gal in Pekin

She's a good ol' gal okay

I bet she's sitting a window fan

On a long hot summer day



For every day I work on the Illinois River

Get a half a day off with pay

All day long I'm makin' up barges

On a long hot summer day



Last night we had port for supper

Today it'll be chicken consommé

And a fruit jar full of iced tea

On a long hot summer day



For every day I work on the Illinois River

Get a half a day off wit
