Lyrics:
had it's way
But love wasn't lost, love will have it's day
North and south of the river
North and south of the river
Can we stop playing these old
Floatin' down that old river, boy
All my worries far behind
Floatin' down that old river, boy
Leave old memories way behind
Yesterday is slowly
I'll never swim Kern River again
It was there that I met her
It was there that I lost my best friend
And now I live in the mountains
I drifted up
evenin' came to the old oak tree
It stands beside the river where you were to meet me
On the ground your glove I found with a note addressed to me
It
river boy, river boy
Good for nothin' river boy
This old world don't hold a whole lot of joy
When you're nothin' but a river boy
I do a lot of fishin'
river boy, river boy
Good for nothin' river boy
This old world don't hold a whole lot of joy
When you're nothin' but a river boy
I do a lot of fishin'
Of Life
Once Dear I Thought I Knew The Way
That Was Before Old Sad Yesterday
Words That You Said Cut Like A Knife
I'm Lost On The River The River Of Life
Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the way things might
Across the river
Across the river
Across the river I go
Up a lazy river where the old mill run
Meets a lazy river in the noon day sun
Linger in the shade of a kind ole tree
And you throw away your
Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
Haven't ever lost one minute of sleepin'
Worried about the way things might have
eighth, nineteen seventy-nine
We lost Sara Carter
And the pain was multiplied
Down below that old Clinch Mountain
We laid her at Mount Vernon
There were
[Chorus]
I'll never swim Kern River again,
It was there that I met him,
There that I lost my best friend.
Now I live in the mountains
I drifted
Old man river, that old man river,
He don't say nothin', but he must know somethin'
That old man river, he just keeps rolling along.
He don't
way
But love was not lost
it just got mislaid
North and south of the river
Can we stop playing these old tattoos?
Darling I don't have the answer
I
Black river
Black river
Black river
The story?s still unfolding and like the river rolling
It's always moving like a tide
Seemingly unchanging
But
Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the way things might
Yeah
Uh-huh
Sure
Uh-huh
Way down, way down
Oh, up a lazy river where the old mill run
Meet the lazy river with the noonday sun
Linger in
that's just me, 'cause nothing ever is enough
When I was a child I grew up by the River Lea
There was something in the water, now that something's in me
I have seen your colors
Woven in your blankets
I have heard your names on
Rivers and on towns
I have seen your turqoise
On fine fancy ladies
The river of life
Once dear I thought
I knew the way
But that was before
Old sad yesterday
Words that you told me
Cut like a knife
I´m lost
Deep river, my home is over Jordan,
Deep river, Lord
sleepy time down south
Soft wind blowing through the pinewood trees
The folks down there live a life of ease
When old mammy falls on her knees
When
To the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico
Red River I know you I know you of old
You have filled up my pockets with quicksand and gold
Susanna oh Susanna
