Singing: "The Boatmen's Dance"

Tim always had fun singing "The Boatmen's Dance" which he sang in a voice recital at DCPA. While Tim was on ECMO, in a drug induced coma at Egleston's Children's Hospital, his voice teacher, Dawn Marie James, came to sing "The Boatmen's Dance" to him. Tim was having a crises so she couldn't see him. She sang for him one last time at his funeral.

"THE BOATMEN’S DANCE"

High row the boatmen row,
Floatin’ down the river
The Ohio

The boatmen dance, the boatmen sing,
The boatmen up to everything
And when the boatmen gets on shore
He spends his cash and works for more
Then the boatmen dance
O dance the boatmen dance
O dance all night ‘til broad daylight
And go home with the gals in the morning’

High row the boatmen row
Floatin’ down the river
The Ohio

I went on board the other day
To see what the boatmen had to say
There I let my passion loose,
An’ they cram me in the calaboose
O dance the boatmen dance
O dance the boatmen dance
O dance all night ‘til broad daylight
And go home with the gals in the mornin’.

High row the boatmen row
Floatin’ down the river
The Ohio
