Many came from New England, New York, and Pennsylvania. Immigrants arrrived from Germany and Great Britain.<\/p>\n<p>The Erie Canal opened in 1825. The Ohio and Erie Canal, joining Cleveland and Portsmouth, was completed in 1845. For 25 years these canals were busy trade routes, piloted by burly, aggressive boatmen on long narrow craft. These keelboats were sharp at both ends, built on a keel and ribs.<\/p>\n<p>Gradually the railroads replaced the keelboat as a form of commercial transportation and the canal traffic was greatly reduced.<\/p>\n<p>I chose this song because we are on the road and traveling through Ohio. We stopped at Bill Lee&#039;s house in Dublin Ohio, and recorded this at his studio. We used a Martin D-41, 6-string and a 5-string banjo. The background vocals were provided by the Ohio River Boys.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"lyrics-header\">Lyrics:<\/div>\n<div class=\"lyrics\">\nD<br \/>\nBOATMAN SING BOATMAN DANCE<\/p>\n<p>            A7        D<br \/>\nBOATMAN LOVE MISS MARY ANN<\/p>\n<p>D<br \/>\nDANCE BOATMAN DANCE<\/p>\n<p>D        A7      D<br \/>\nDANCE BOATMAN DANCE<\/p>\n<p>D                             G<br \/>\nDANCE ALL NIGHT &#039;TIL THE BROAD DAYLIGHT<\/p>\n<p>G                  A7            D<br \/>\nGO HOME WITH THE GALS IN THE MORNING<\/p>\n<p>   G                  D<br \/>\nHEY HO BOATMAN ROW SAILING DOWN THE RIVER ON THE OHIO<\/p>\n<p>  G                   D                          A7 D<br \/>\nHEY HO BOATMAN ROW SAILING DOWN THE RIVER ON THE OHIO<\/p>\n<p>   G                  D<br \/>\nHEY HO BOATMAN ROW SAILING DOWN THE RIVER ON THE OHIO<\/p>\n<p>  G                   D                          A7 D<br \/>\nHEY HO BOATMAN ROW SAILING DOWN THE RIVER ON THE OHIO<\/p>\n<p>D<br \/>\nBOATMAN DANCE BOATMAN SING<\/p>\n<p>D                 A7   D<br \/>\nBOATMAN DO MOST ANYTHING<\/p>\n<p>D<br \/>\nDANCE BOATMAN DANCE<\/p>\n<p>D           A7   D<br \/>\nDANCE BOATMAN DANCE<\/p>\n<p>D                               G<br \/>\nDANCE ALL NIGHT &#039;TIL THE BROAD DAYLIGHT<\/p>\n<p>G                  A7           D<br \/>\nGO HOME WITH THE GALS IN THE MORNING<\/p>\n<p>   G                 D<br \/>\nHEY HO BOATMAN ROW SAILING DOWN THE RIVER ON THE OHIO<\/p>\n<p>  G                  D                           A7 D<br \/>\nHEY HO BOATMAN ROW SAILING DOWN THE RIVER ON THE OHIO<\/p>\n<p>   G                  D<br \/>\nHEY HO BOATMAN ROW SAILING DOWN THE RIVER ON THE OHIO<\/p>\n<p>  G                   D                          A7 D<br \/>\nHEY HO BOATMAN ROW SAILING DOWN THE RIVER ON THE OHIO\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do I download this Mp3?
