Down At The Landing

When I was down at the landing people
Lord, waiting with my head hung down
Lord, I was down at the landing
With my head hung down
I could see everybody’s baby gettin' on board
Lord but I couldn’t see mine, Lord, I couldn’t
I said, «Lord have mercy
Where could my baby be?»
I said, «Lord have mercy
Where could my baby be?»
I see everybody’s baby with their baby
Lord but I can’t see mine
This big boat kept on rollin'
Big boat kept on rollin' along, Lord but it did
Lord, the big boat, the big boat people
Big boat kept on rollin' along
I was standin' there wonderin'
With my head hung down
I believe, I’ll call to the cargo, yes, yes, yeah
I’m gonna see if my baby’s down
Oh, call to the cargo
See if my baby’s down
My baby, she might have got hung up people
Lord, if she couldn’t make it down
