I was down in the orchard
With the apples and plums
Got two good hands and one rule of thumb
If you're goin' to East St. Louis
Don't you drink too much
Cut down that consumption
You shakey legged such and such
Well that Mississippi River is deep and wide
There's my gal on the other side
I'm in Davenport
She's in East Moline
With the Rock Island Line
And the Mississippi in between
This is a two and four world
And you clap on one and three
Come on baby
Don't Canal Street me
If you're goin' to East St. Louis
Don't you drink too much
Cut down that consumption
You shakey legged such and such
