The "Ella B" - Amazing Rhythm Aces

Have you ever took a boat ride

Down the Mississippi

Well, if you do

You oughta take it on the Ella B

Yes, she starts off in St. Louis Missouri

And she takes you down to New Orleans

And on out to the sea

Well you heard about the good Queen Mary

Sailin' on the seven seas

But you ain’t never took no boat ride

Till you been ridin' on the Ella B

Her accomodations are among the best

You get three square meals a day

And a place to rest

We can just smells them ole hot biscuits

And that country ham

That old fried chicken

Mash potatoes and the candied yam

Well you heard about the Constitution

Fightin' the revolutionary war

Well?

America’s inland neighbor

She’s the finest runnin' shore to shore

Mmmm… it takes about a week

To get back down that there river

But once you get on board

You can wish it would last forever

Oh you just sit out on the deck

And fish off the side all day

Watch the sunny south land roll on by

And dream your blues away

Well you heard about the ship Titanic

A sailin' on the northern sea

But you ain’t never took no boat ride

Till you been ridin' on the Ella B

B — eee- b-eee hee hee B — eee
