Guys and Dolls: First Complete Recording

[NICELY]
\nI dreamed last night I got on the boat to Heaven
\nAnd by some chance I had brought my dice along
\nAnd there I stood and I hollered, "Someone fade me"
\nBut the passengers, they know right from wrong
\n
\nFor the people all said, "Sit down
\nSit down, you're rockin' the boat"
\n
\n[NICELY & ENSEMBLE]
\nPeople all said, "Sit down
\nSit down, you're rockin' the boat
\n
\n[NICELY]
\n"And the devil will drag you under
\nBy the sharp lapel of your checkered coat
\nSit down, sit down, sit down, sit down"
\n
\n[NICELY & ENSEMBLE]
\n"Sit down, you're rockin' the boat"
\n
\n[NICELY]
\nI sailed away on that little boat to Heavеn
\nAnd by some chance found a bottle in my fist
\nAnd thеre I stood nicely passin' out the whiskey
\nBut the passengers were bound to resist
\n
\n[NICELY & ENSEMBLE]
\nFor the people all said, "Beware" (People all said)
\n"You're on a heavenly trip" ("Beware, beware")
\nPeople all said, "Beware" (People all said)
\n"Beware you'll scuttle the ship" ("Beware")
\n"And the devil will drag you under" ("Sit down, sit down")
\n"By the fancy tie 'round your wicked throat
\nSit down"
\n
\n[NICELY & ENSEMBLE]
\n"Sit down, sit down, sit down
\nSit down, you're rockin' the boat"
\n
\n[NICELY]
\nAnd as I laughed at those passengers to Heaven
\nA great big wave came and washed me overboard
\nAnd as I sank and I hollered, "Someone save me"
\nThat's the moment I woke up
\n
\n[NICELY, ENSEMBLE, BOTH]
\nThank the Lord (Thank the Lord, thank the Lord)
\n
\nAnd I said to myself, "Sit down" (Said to himself)
\n"Sit down, you're rockin' the boat" ("Sit down")
\nSaid to myself, "Sit down" (Said to himself)
\n"Sit down, you're rockin' the boat"
\n"And the devil will drag you under"
\n"And the devil will drag you under"
\n"With a soul so heavy you'd never float
\nSit down"
\n
\n[NICELY & ENSEMBLE]
\n"Sit down, sit down, sit down
\nSit down, you're rockin' the boat"
\nSit down, you're rockin'
\nSit down, sit down
\nSit down, you're rockin' the boat
\nSit down, you're rockin'
\nSit down, sit down
\nSit down, you're rockin' the boat
\n
\n[NICELY & ENSEMBLE, ENSEMBLE]
\nSit down, you're rockin' the boat
\n
\n[GENERAL, spoken]
\nHallelujah!
\n
\n[NATHAN, spoken]
\nHallelujah!
\n
\n[ENSEMBLE, spoken]
\nHallelujah!
\n
\n[GENERAL, spoken]
\nGentlemen
\nWe will now sing number two hundred and forty-four
\n"Follow the Fold"\n\n
