Lyrics:

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
