You'll keep going your way
I'll keep going my way
River stay away from my door

I just got a cabin
You don't need my cabin
River stay away from my door

Don't come up any higher
I'm so all alone
Leave my bed and my fire
That's all I own

I ain't breaking your heart
Don't start breaking my heart
River stay away from my door

You're just a lonely little river
But I have heard somebody say
That someday you may
Sweep my home away
So roll along you lonely river
And find your way out to the sea
I don't bother you
Don't you bother me

You'll keep going your way
I'll keep going my way
River stay away from my door

I just got a cabin
You don't need my cabin
River stay away from my door

Don't come up any higher
I'm so all alone
Leave my bed and my fire
That's all I own

I ain't breaking your heart
Don't start breaking my heart
River stay away from my door
