My granddad used to tell me, "Boy, when ^GI was just your ^Dage I was a river pilot on a ^Emshowboat called The ^AStage I'd ^Dhobnob with them southern belles and ^Gevery rousta^Dbout I'd listen to them paddle wheels and ^Emhear the ^Aleadsman ^Dshout"

Mark ^DTwain, (Mark Twain) it's two fathoms deep below Mark ^EmTwain, (Mark ^ATwain) heave the ^Emgangplank, start the show Mark ^DTwain, play those ^Gbanjos as we ^Dgo ^BmDown the Missis^F#msippi, 'round the ^EmGulf of ^AMexi^Dco^{G A D G A D}

There were gamblers, crooks and fakers and a ^Gminstrel man who'd ^Ddance A singin' gal, Simone Lamour, im^Emported straight from ^AFrance It ^Dwas a floatin' palace, boy, that ^Gshowboat called The ^DStage And granddad was the king of it, when ^Emhe was ^Ajust my ^Dage
