"On The Robert E Lee"
Hey Look at the way she's wavin' her sail,
It's a wonderous sight to see.
People hurry on down from every town,
Have a look at the Robert E. Lee.
Proud and strong and made to be free,
Can't go wrong on the Robert E. Lee.
Got the sun in my eyes and the wind in my face.
And it's good just to be alive.
Gonna set out tonight for New Orleans;
I won't sleep till I arrive.
And if I'm lucky
I'll find a young lady under the stars,
And we'll dance the night away.
Somebody wake me and say it's a dream,
Leadin' me far from my home.
And haven't you noticed, despite what it seems.
You can't deny it's you and I alone.
Maybe spend my life just workin' the land,
Maybe livin' from day to day.
But I'm free tonight in New Orleans:
If I like it I just might stay!
(Proud and strong) and made to be free,
(Can't go wrong) on the Robert E. Lee.
Got the sun in my eyes and the wind in my face.
And it's good just to be alive.
Gonna set out tonight for New Orleans;
I won't sleep till I arrive.

"History of the Robert E Lee".
St. Louis, Missouri
The Lt. Robert E. Lee was built in the late 1960s by the James B. Eads Corp. using an old Army Corps of Engineers boat.
She came from Greenville to the St. Louis riverfront in February 1970 and opened as a restaurant two months later. Although she never has been a real boat she was Fred Leyhe/s dream of a perfect steamboat. Fred Leyhe was the son of Capt. Buck Leyhe one of the owners of the famous Eagle Packet Company, running famous steamboats like the Golden Eagle, the Cape Girardeau (sold to the Greene Line and renamed Gordon C. Greene), the Bald Eagle, the Spread Eagle, the Grey Eagle, the Alton, the Peoria and many others.
The Lt. Robert E. Lee named for the Confederate General who served as a young man in St. Louis with the Army Corps of Engineers (1837 to 1841) was build as a riverfront restaurant. After Fred Lyhe/s death she was sold to the President Casinos Inc. and severally damaged during the flood of 1993. In 1997 four local businessmen, Scott Hawkins, David Heyl, Bill Manley and Rick Yackey, bought and renovated her. Most of her wooden structure has been replaced by steel and she got a new paddlewheel. She reopened as a restaurant called the Mesquite Charlie's Steaks on the Lt. Robert E. Lee on October, 10 2001.
