The stuff: 
 
A, Bm, C#m, D, Eb 

E            A   D
Showboat coming up the river 
     F#m           E           A
See her lanterns flicker in the gentle breeze 
E                          A     D
I can hear the crickets singing in the evening 
   F#m        G         D
Old Dixie Lily moving past the cypress trees 
 
E                 A   D
My little boat she rocks easy 
       F#m          E            A
I've been catching catfish in the creek all day 
       E                        A      D
Oh and I've never seen ladies like those on the big boats 
     F#m         G            D
Must be fancy breeding lets you live that way 
 
A                   D
Dixie Lily, chugging like a grand old lady 
 A                      E
Paddles hitting home in the noonday sun 
 A            G    F#m            F
Ploughing through the water with your whistles blowing 
 F#m       E             A   Bm  C#m   D Eb
Down from Louisiana on the Vicksburg run 
 
E              A    D
Papa says that I'm a dreamer 
       F#m      E         A
Says them skeetas bit me one too many times 
     E                    A     D
Oh but I never get lonesome living on the river 
 F#m          G            D
Watching old Lily leave the world behind 
 
A                   D
Dixie Lily, chugging like a grand old lady 
 A                      E
Paddles hitting home in the noonday sun 
 A            G    F#m            F
Ploughing through the water with your whistles blowing 
 F#m       E             A   Bm  C#m   D Eb
Down from Louisiana on the Vicksburg run 
 
E, A, D 
F#m, E, A
E, A, D
F#m, G, D

   A                   D
Oooh, Dixie Lily, chugging like a grand old lady 
 A                      E
Paddles hitting home in the noonday sun 
 A            G    F#m            F
Ploughing through the water with your whistles blowing 
 F#m       E             A   D
Down from Louisiana on the Vicksburg run, oooh 
 F#m       E             A   D E  D  A
Down from Louisiana on the Vicksburg run
