8-Bar Intro

Verse 1

EV-'RY-BOD-Y'S WAV-ING AS THE STEAM-BOAT TURNS A-ROUND,
TO SA-VAN-NAH WE'RE BOUND,
HEAR THE WHIS-TLE BLOW-ING THAT'S A MIGHT-Y CHEER-FUL SOUND,
HEAR THE OLD PAD-DLE WHEELS POUND.
HON-EY HERE'S A COR-NER NO ONE IS NEAR, JUST THE PLACE TO SPOON IT'S FINE
DON'T YOU FEEL THE MO-TION OF THE DREAM-Y O-CEAN ON THE OLD DO-MIN-ION LINE.

Verse 2

SEE THAT RED LIGHT YON-DER, THAT'S THE OLD CAPE HEN-RY LIGHT
THAT'S WHAT'S GUID-ING US RIGHT,
THAT'S WHAT HELPS THE CAP-TAIN ON A ROUGH AND STORM-Y NIGHT,
GEE! THAT'S A COM-FORT-ING SIGHT.
BUT TO-NIGHT IT'S DIF-F'RENT, EV-'RY ONE'S SAFE,
WE DON'T NEED THAT LIGHT TO SHINE,
CAP'S A DAN-DY STEER-ER,DIX-IE'S GET-TING NEAR-ER
ON THE OLD DO-MIN-ION LINE.

Chorus

ON THE OLD DO-MIN-ION LINE AS THE STARS A-BOVE US SHINE,
HO-NEY IT'S SWEET WHEN WE ARE HUM-MING A SONG,
STEAM-ING A-LONG, DREAM-ING A-LONG,
PUT YOUR HEAD RIGHT CLOSE TO MINE SO I'LL SEE THE LOVE-LIGHT SHINE.
AU-TO-MO-BI-LING AIN'T AS JOL-LY AS THIS,
NO-BOD-Y'S LOOK-ING, HON-EY, SLIP ME A KISS,
THIS IS THE LIFE FOR ME IT CER-TAIN-LY BLISS,
ON THE OLD DO-MIN-ION LINE
