Walking By the River |
| Walking by the river |
| Watching my tears roll out to the sea |
| Walking by the river |
| Stormy trouble will never drown for me |
| If pain was a sailor |
| I could sail a ocean-liner |
| If pain was a jailer |
| I could shackle that ocean-liner |
| If pain was a tailor |
| I could sew that ocean-liner |
| To a river-boat, to rest on |
| On up to South Carolina |
| 'Stead of walking by the river |
| Watching my tears roll out to the sea |
| Walking by the river |
| Oh, stormy trouble won’t ever drown for me |
| See, I must be fool enough |
| To hang out in a hurricane |
| Long enough to wash away |
| My whole family name |
| And fool enough to wait |
| In ten feet of rain |
| If I drown, I got nobody |
| But myself to blame |
| Yeah, blues with whiskey |
| I stay drunk all the time |
| Yeah, if bad news was risky |
| I’d be convicted of every crime |
| Yeah, if happiness was money |
| I’d never have a lousy dime |
| If I could just raise the price of a ticket |
| I’d head on up the line |
| 'Stead of walking by the river |
| Watching my tears roll out to sea |
| Walking by the river |
| Stormy trouble won’t drown for me |
| Still walking by the river |
| Watching my tears roll out to the sea |
| Walking by the river |
| Stormy troubles ain’t gonna drown for me |
| Walking by the river |
| Been watching my tears roll out to the sea |
| Walking by the river |
| Stormy trouble ain’t gonna drown for me |
