Lyrics River, Stay 'Way from My Door - Red Foley

River, Stay 'Way from My Door

You keep going your way I’ll keep going my way
River stay away from my door
All I got is 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 breakin' your heart so don’t start breaking my heart
Oh, river stay away from my door.
Lord, ain’t I been faithful, ain’t I worked
Ain’t I toiled in the sweat and sun
Lord, ain’t I come to you, ain’t I come to you and thank you
Thank you for all the good things you’ve done.
Listen Lord, I know you made that river
But won’t you please try to remember that you made me
Oh Lord, can’t you hear me pray to you
Make that river make that river hear my plea.
No, I ain’t breaking your heart so don’t start breaking my heart
Oh river, stay away from my door…
