Turnpike Troubadours - Long Hot Summer Day lyrics

Well I’m Gonna pick up some of these empties Lord. As soon as I find where they lay. Tied off of them jolly and leaving lines. On a long hot summer day yea. Chorus: For every day I workin’ on the Illinois River. Get a half a day off with pay. Oh Tow boat pickin’ up barges. On a long hot summer day. Well I got me a gal in Pekin She's a good ole' gal okay. Oh she's sitting there waitin’ by a window fan. On a long hot summer day. Chorus: For every day I workin’ on the Illinois River. Get a half a day off with pay. Oh Tow boat pickin’ up barges. On a long hot summer day. Well Last night we had pork for supper. And Tomorrow it'll be chicken consomme. And a fruit jar full a iced tea. On a long hot summer day. Yea Chorus: For every day I workin’ on the Illinois River. Get a half a day off with pay. Oh Tow boat pickin’ up barges. On a long hot summer day. Well we dropped a man off in Beardstown. When we got off yesterday. Gonna get off down in Alton. On a long hot summer day. Chorus: For every day I workin’ on the Illinois River. Get a half a day off with pay. Oh Tow boat pickin’ up barges. On a long hot summer day. Lead: Chorus: For every day I workin’ on the Illinois River. Get a half a day off with pay. Oh Tow boat pickin’ up barges. On a long hot summer day. Chorus: For every day I workin’ on the Illinois River. Get a half a day off with pay. Oh Tow boat pickin’ up barges. On a long hot summer day.
