I got a wife and five little chillun
I'm gonna take a trip on the big McMillan

With Saro Jane
Saro Jane
Ain't nothin' to do

But to set down and sing
And rock about my Saro Jane


The boiler busted and the whistle squall
The Captain gone through the hole-in-the-wall
Oh Saro Jane

Saro Jane
Ain't nothin' to do
But to set down and sing

And rock about my Saro Jane

The engine give a crack and the whistle gave a squall

The engineer gone to the hole-in-the-wall
Saro Jane
Saro Jane

Ain't nothin' to do
But to set down and sing
And rock about my Saro Jane


Yankee built boats to shoot them Rebels
My gun's steady gonna hold it level

Saro Jane
Saro Jane
But to set down and sing

And rock about my Saro Jane

I got a wife and five little chillun

I'm gonna take a trip on the big McMillan
Saro Jane
Saro Jane

Ain't nothin' to do
But to set down and sing
And rock about my Saro Jane
