[Verse 1]
I got a wife and five little children
I'm going to take a trip on the big McMillan
With Saro Jane (Sarah Jane)
Saro Jane (Sarah Jane)
I have nothing to do
But to set down and sing
And rock about my Saro Jane

[Verse 2]
The boiler busted and the whistle squall
The captain has gone through the hole-in-the-wall
Oh Saro Jane (Sarah Jane)
Saro Jane (Sarah Jane)
Ain't nothing to do
But to set down and sing
And rock about my Saro Jane

[Verse 3]
The engine give a crack and the whistle gave a squall
The engineer gone to the hole-in-the-wall
Saro Jane (Sarah Jane)
Saro Jane (Sarah Jane)
Ain't nothing to do
But to set down and sing
And rock about my Saro Jane
[Verse 4]
Yankee built boats to shoot them Rebels
My gun's steady going to hold it level
Saro Jane (Sarah Jane)
Saro Jane (Sarah Jane)
Ain't nothing to do
But to set down and sing
And rock about my Saro Jane

[Verse 1]
I got a wife and five little children
I'm going to take a trip on the big McMillan
With Saro Jane (Sarah Jane)
Saro Jane (Sarah Jane)
I have nothing to do
But to set down and sing
And rock about my Saro Jane
Yeah
