Steamboatin' Days is a collection of African American folk music compiled by musicologist Mary Wheeler. The songs originate from the men and women who labored aboard the steamboats of America's packet boat era. Known as roustabouts, these individuals' music provides a glimpse into the life and culture of African Americans living and working along America's inland waterways in the late nineteenth century. Within this collection, you will find the lyrics and musical notation to their songs of love, dance, spirituality, lawlessness, meditation, and more.
