River Towns |
| I came in three days early |
| To meet my boat |
| It ain’t the life of Riley |
| But it’s keeping me afloat |
| It’s quiet over Christmas |
| If you got no place to go |
| I got my home from river rats |
| The only home I know |
| I found myself a flophouse |
| And I hit the streets at nine |
| Get some grub and drink a beer |
| Maybe go down the line |
| These chips will take your money |
| Shake a young man down |
| It’s the same in every one of these |
| Sorry river towns |
| River towns, sorry river towns |
| River towns |
| River towns, sorry river towns |
| River towns |
| Well I picked me up a bottle |
| To take back to the room |
| Then I saw a young girl standing |
| In a doorway in the gloom |
| We’d hardly started talking |
| The old scenario |
| And I just let her work me over |
| Down by the Ohio |
| River towns, sorry river towns |
| River towns |
| River towns, sorry river towns |
| River towns |
| When I asked her if she’d like to stay |
| She was down my stairs so quick |
| I never asked what got her started |
| With the sorry river tricks |
| So I get the bottle open |
| But something’s hit a nerve |
| And I’m looking in the mirror |
| At the face that I deserve |
| River towns, sorry river towns |
| River towns |
| River towns, sorry river towns |
| River towns |
