Smuggler’s Bend

Sittin high above da deck

Sparkelin in da sun

Bronze propellers chrunnin up

Mississippi mud   

Ninety tons of wood and steel

Floatin like a feather

Pewter hued clouds rollin in

Bringin heavy weather 

Captn calls down to da crew

Batten down da hatches

Not much more for them ta do

Sounds of cargo crashin 

Harbor lights loom up ahead

Twinklin in da gloom

Gotta make it round da Bend

Give us plenty room 

Hard ta Starb’rd Full ahead

Blown out of da channel

Ninety tons of barge hit hard

Crew and Captn swearin 

Hard aground stuck in da Mud

Ta never sail again

Sit ninety tons of steel and wood

Now part of Smugglers Bend
