He left his gal on the river bank his children’s mother
In the morning when the steam whistle blows she will discover
Her packed his bags and left her high and dry
From the Dixie Queen he waved his goodbye
Down bound to New Orleans the river runs
River boat gamblers don’t gamble just for fun
And southern Bells don’t cotton to a river rat
But a Union spy knows how to skin a cat
He dressed up fine like a gambler should to play the devil’s game
Like a snake in the grass she was by his side a lady with no shame
He fooled the crowd with a slight of hand
And the snake in the grass thought he was grand
Down bound to New Orleans the river runs
This Union spy wasn’t playing just for fun
This night the flames would burn the Dixie Queen down
And the southern cause on the Mississippi would drown
The Union spy set the wheeler a blaze as he rang the fire bell
As the cotton bails flamed he bore the pain of sending the Dixie to hell
He swore an oth to save every soul aboard
A slight detail that history did not record
Down bound to New Orleans the river runs
The night the Dixie went down this tale was spun
Of the Union spy and death he could not defy
As he stood on the deck alone and waved goodbye
Down bound to New Orleans the river runs
The night the Dixie went down this tale was spun
Of the night the flames had burnt the Dixie Queen down
And the southern cause on the Mississippi did drown
