| Yesterday I went a’wandering so I could ease my head
|
| So I laid right down and closed my eyes on top of a little bed
|
| I laid right down and closed my eyes on top of a little bed
|
| Drop a rope to the river folks and they took me right in
|
| They fed me fish and whiskey and then I went to sleep again
|
| Oh, they fed me fish and whiskey and then I went to sleep again
|
| Guess there I saw Samantha
|
| She was sitt’n on the rise
|
| Said, Lord, if I am dreamin' please don’t let me open my eyes
|
| Said, Lord, if I am dreamin' please don’t let me open my eyes
|
| Well the rain let up and the sun came out
|
| Samantha took my hand
|
| She led me down to the water’s edge and then we dove right in
|
| She led me down to the water’s edge and then we dove right in
|
| I said, Oh sweet Samantha, you know I could fall for you
|
| But I know that you will leave me here before the morning dew
|
| I know that you will leave me here before the morning dew
|
| Say, Yes, it’s true. |
| I have to go, but I hope you won’t forget
|
| The time you closed your eyes and laid right down on this little bed
|
| The time you closed your eyes and laid right down on this little bed… |
