Music by Elton JohnLyrics by Bernie TaupinAvailable on the album CaribouShowboat coming up the riverSee her lanterns flicker in the gentle breezeI can hear the crickets singing in the eveningOld Dixie Lily moving past the cypress treesMy little boat she rocks easyI've been catching catfish in the creek all dayOh and I've never seen ladies like those on the big boatsMust be fancy breeding lets you live that wayDixie Lily, chugging like a grand old ladyPaddles hitting home in the noonday sunPloughing through the water with your whistles blowingDown from Louisiana on the Vicksburg runPapa says that I'm a dreamerSays them skeetas bit me one too many timesOh but I never get lonesome living on the riverWatching old Lily leave the world behind
