Lyrics " Long Hot Summer Days "

Original text with translation

Long Hot Summer Days

John Hartford

Gonna pick up some of these empties here

Just as soon as we know where they lay

Tied off of them jolly and leaving lines

On a long hot summer day

For every day I work on the Illinois River

Get a half a day off with pay

Old tow boat makin' up barges

On a long hot summer day

Well I got me a gal in Pekin

She’s a good ol' gal okay

I bet she’s sitting by 'er window fan

On a long hot summer day

For every day I work on the Illinois River

Get a half a day off with pay

Old tow boat makin' up barges

On a long hot summer day

Last night we had port for supper

Today it’ll be chicken consomme

And a fruit jar full of iced tea

On a long hot summer day

For every day I work on the Illinois River

Get a half a day off with pay

Old tow boat makin' up barges

On a long hot summer day

Well we put a man off in Beardstown

When we come down yesterday

I’m gonna get off down at Alton

On a long hot summer day

For every day I work on the Illinois River

Get a half a day off with pay

Old tow boat makin' up barges

On a long hot summer day
