    It’s kind of interesting hearing a very British voice singing a very American folk song

    Hard on the beach oar, she moves too slow
    Way down to Shawneetown on the Ohio
    Some rows up, but we floats down
    Way down the Ohio to Shawnee Town
    Hard on the beach oar, she moves too slow
    Way down to Shawneetown on the Ohio
    Whiskey's in the jug, boys; wheat is in the sack
    Put on down to Shawneetown and bring the rock salt back
    Hard on the beach oar, she moves too slow
    Way down to Shawneetown on the Ohio
    Well now the current's got her boys, take in some slack
    Float on down to Shawneetown and bushwhack her back
    Hard on the beach oar, she moves too slow
    Way down to Shawneetown on the Ohio
    I got a wife in Louisville, another in New Orleans
    And when I get to Shawnnee Town I'll see my Indian Queen
    Hard on the beach oar, she moves too slow
    Way down to Shawneetown on the Ohio
    The weather's mighty warm boys, the water is thick and dank
    And the fog is so damn thick you cannot see the bank
    Hard on the beach oar, she moves too slow
    Way down to Shawneetown on the Ohio
    Some rows up, but we floats down
    Way down the Ohio to Shawnee Town
    Hard on the beach oar, she moves too slow
    Way down to Shawneetown on the Ohio
