THANKS !!! ALL Y'ALL !
Actually....we got to thank the Band for sharing the Southern Pride ....
You folks need to keep performing.
You are a connection to American history, and that is the bane of ideological zealots seeking to destroy our country's historic soul.
Don't stop. Play louder. Play often. Recruit more musicians.
Thanks you !!! Great music!! Greetings from Chile!!
Can you perform in Grayson County,Texas
Songs sung in a clear voice and music played with precision!
One of the best confederate civil war bands and
one of the best minstrel folk songs.
True!
Yep
Hey, Brice ! Thanks ! I been seein' you on FB. Excellent page !
@@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand thank you.
@@-BriceW.Alms- You're more than welcome. Question: Any interest in installing a new head on my old tackhead (1992 - wedding gift from guy in unit)? It blew out quite some time ago and I don't have the guts to try it myself...
For some reason this band has been my go to playlist during this pandemic, it's so uplifting! Greetings from UK
Wow ! Glad we could help !!
You should try reenacting the civil war era!
They play real music and unreconstructed at that. They are a blessing for sure!
They all are of Scottish or Irish descent
I Love 2nd South Caroline String Band...keep on movin and bringin the Southern songs to all America.
Yep
BR?
@@ismaelsilveira2316 Wtf??

You gotta do in my own language ....if you know what i mean.....

God bless the South.......... greets from Germany
Greets from Poland
God bless the south from Tennessee.
This band sings songs of freedom we need them now more than ever.
Hi,i´am from Germany....I hear your Music,ahm, 4 Hours on one Day...
Yeah, I admit it quicky becomes quite the addiction! My current 2.S.C.S.B. playlist runs for some 3 ½ hours... ;-)
2nd (to none) South Caroline String Band. Today's music (hip hop/ rap) is empty, talentless, and tasteless, BUT these ol' songs have a flavor of yesteryear and fill the imagination of what might have been 170 (or so) years ago. The music has a spirit, energy, feeling of a younger nation. Great job fellas in keeping the spirit alive.
Ever since I've awaken I realize the satanic messages of modern music and TG I have ever single CD these fellows made. 😍
@@ducksinarowpatience3670 modern music is a tool to complete the " ghettoisation " of the Western world
Went straight to Pandora to create a station after I listened to this song!
WOW ! Thanks a lot !
Another splendid assortment of hats, I am particularly partial to the straw topper worn by the banjo player in the yellow shirt. So stylish.
Thanks very much ! And right hard to come by, I might add... Definitely my favorite for the hot weather.

All respect again from England for another splendid tune from my favourite Southern band!!!
I live in Southeast Alabama and I've fell in love with this channel. ❤
I remember meeting these guys talking to them at the 145th Gettysburg reenactment, then their banjo player came to our living history event at Pitzer's Woods in 2008 I think? He played for our unit around the camp fire. Great memories.
You're awesome guys. I heard your music more than 3 hours daily... Greetings and hugs from Spain! 🇪🇸🤝🇸🇴
You talented guys have just gained another fan here ! Greetings and thanks from Northumberland, UK !

Love this music, love the band. Thanks so much for posting this!
y'all never cease to give me a happy feeling
real music
We try...
The boatman dance, the boatman sing,
The boatman do ‘most anything,
And when the boatman get on shore,
He spends his cash and works for more.
Chorus:
Dance, boatman, dance, dance, boatman, dance,
Dance all night till the broad daylight,
Go home with the gals in the morning.
Hi, ho, the boatman row,
Sailing down the river on the Ohio,
Hi, ho, the boatman row,
Sailing down the river on the Ohio,
The boatman is a thrifty man,
There’s none can do as the boatman can.
I never saw a pretty girl in my life
But that she was a boatman’s wife.
I went on board the other day
To see what the boatman had to say,
And there I let my passion loose;
They crammed me in the calaboose.
When you go to the boatman’s ball,
Dance with your wife or not at all.
Sky-blue jacket, tarpaulin hat,
Look out, boys, for the nine-tailed cat.
When the boatman blows his horn,
Look out, old man, your daughter’s gone.
He stole my sheep, he stole my goat,
He put ’em in a bag and took ’em to the boat.
🎶👉🎻🎵🙏🙏💙🙏💖
If it’s not too much trouble, would you guys be able to post lyrics in the description so that we can sing along and learn the lyrics? Thanks! And keep up the awesome work as well! Deo Vindice! 🇸🇴
Hmmmmm.... Not a bad idea. Let me think on it. In the meantime... just for you, Bazar...
THE BOATMAN’S SONG
Hi ! Ho! The boatman go… floatin’ down the river in a big bateau.
The boatman dance. The boatman sing. The boatman huff to everyt’ing.
An’ when the boatman gets on shore, he spend his money, then works for more.
Chorus:
Dance, boatman, dance ! Oh, dance, boatman, dance !
Oh, dance all night ’til the broad daylight !
Go home with the gals in the morning !
Hi ! Ho! The boatman go… floatin’ down the river to O-hi-o.
The boatman, he should keep to shore. The fishin’ smack should venture more.
The schooner sail before the whine. The steamboat leave a streak behind.
Chorus ~
Hi ! Ho! The boatman go… floatin’ down the river in a big bateau.
I went on board the other day, jus’ to see what the boatman had to say.
There I let my passion loose. They clapped me in the calaboose !
Chorus ~
Hi ! Ho! The boatman go… floatin’ down the river to O-hi-o.
I come this time… I’ll come no more. Let me loose, I’ll go to shore.
With the whole horse and the bully crew. A hoosier maid, and the cap’n too !
Chorus ~
Hi ! Ho! The boatman go… floatin’ down the river in a big bateau.
When you go to the boatman’s ball, dance with my wife or not at all.
Sky-blue jacket and a tarpaulin hat. Watch out, boys, for the nine-tail cat !
Chorus ~
Hi ! Ho! The boatman go… floatin’ down the river to O-hi-o.
The boatman, he’s a thrifty man. There’s none can do like the boatman can.
I never seen a pretty girl in my life, but that she was a boatman’s wife !
Chorus ~
Hi ! Ho! The boatman go… floatin’ down the river in a big bateau.
When the boatman blows his horn, look out, old man, your sheep is gone.
He stole my sheep ! He stole my shoat ! He put ‘em in a bag, an’ tote ‘em to the boat !
Chorus ~
Hi ! Ho! The boatman go… floatin’ down the river to O-hi-o.
@@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand Thanks! Y’all are the BEST!!!!
@@sumelk1020 It might amuse you to learn (it sure did me !) that I only had a photocopy of one of our lyric sheets that dated back to 1996, when we played a concert at the Gettysburg Institute. So, I thank you for inspiring me to type it out and file it with the rest of the digital record. Only took 25 years !!!
Love the confederacy! Ulster supports you
yes yes guys done well
I sing sing and I dance with you !!
A really great
WOW! These guys are great
good old down home dixie thank you sah.
Bought yalls CD Southern Soldier recently and I love it. Listen to it a lot on the way to and from work all the time. Would love to see yall at a reenactment sometime.
Thanks VERY much for that, Justin ! LOTS of folks have told us the very same thing over the years and we never tire of hearing it. I wish I could say we're still reenacting, but we've 'aged-out', I'm afraid. Our time on the stage is done, sadly, but it was a GREAT time indeed !
Well that's a bummer but I understand. Glad I can still hear it. Sometimes with all things going on I'm one of the few proud of their heritage and proud of being southern!
Learned this in grade school. I always wondered if the boatmen went home with the gals in the morning who was left to load the boat?
It's a poser, all right !
Keep up the good work, folks 👍
Amazing
You guys always make me wanna get into civil war reenactments, Awesome stuff
Gday from australia fellas, im a big fan of ned kelly (probs dont know who he is) but im in support of the south, all for freedom, we are controlled by the government on a tight leash nowadays. Of course your music got me into your civil war, no movie has matched ya authenticity
That's a nice thing for you to say, Malachi. We take our 'authenticity' seriously (within reason, of course). And, btw, we DO know who Ned Kelly is/was. Mick Jagger, right ? (Just kidding).
Be well, mate !
@@2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand i mean the john jarret series was better (hella accurate). God bless u guys
wonderfull!!
Good done - greetings from Ukraine !
You already can’t buy the Stars and Bars on eBay. I tried.
I. Love. Boat man. Dance
When teaching about artist George Caleb Bingham in my Art class I play this song while I show His artwork. Great stuff.
Great!
Absolutely love it. Love from SC ❤️
It's a masterpiece song
Thanks Farhan !!!
Wonderful. I am a foreigner of US, just researched into the genre of American folk music for less than a month, but I already get obsessed.
Hope more young people would join your band, and make these songs alive! I am actually young but in Hong Kong there's no way to find people to play US folk music.......
Thanks for your kind words, Boundless72. It is a sad thing what is happening in your country. We wish you good luck !
Got to research this song after watching
The outlaw josey wales
Great song!

im 13 and (unfortunately) from california, and i still like this stuff. Pop sucks
Amen to THAT !
I’m 17 and (unfortunately) from New York and I’ve been obsessed with this type of music for 2 years.
Californian and 34 and love it.
I’m from West Virginia (fortunately) and people from ‘round here like this stuff and I do too. And yes, pop does suck.
Born in Korea, raised in Montana, living in West Virginia.
This type of music still stirs the soul! God bless y'all
The annoying ads that play before this starts and after it ends are like a bunch of flies at a picnic.
Brilliant!
Beautiful.
nice rhythm
I love music made in America! Now if I could just find clothing made in America....
Superb!
The best
Onore al Sud! Sud Libero!
Alma Americana raiz

Mas os Confederados foram vencidos mas seu legado ainda é o valor humano
Muito ouvir o sonho de Carolina do Norte
Paz

Merci mille fois !!!
Wait, I thought dixie is defeated but not anymore, Believe In Dixie.
You guys still performing?
On RUclips, yes. In person, sadly, no. Aged out. Word of advice: Don't get old. :O)

Dixie forever,

Sang this in middle school choir. Had no idea that it's a confederate song. Now I feel kinda diaspointed do to how catchy and cute the song is.
It is at least 10 years older than the Confederate States, you can listen to it in peace; still, from my French point of view, the Confederacy had an amount of classe that we don't often see in a countriy
The guy singing looks like Hank from Breaking Bad but with hair.
GLORY TO THE WHITE SOUTH!✊🏻😎
